Zhou Lijun wiped away his tears and said: "The fifth and sixth uncles also said the same thing. They said it's useless to tell the family. It's a success. If it doesn't work, we can only carry the coffin back home."
Man Bao: "...have you finished the coffin for me?"
"That's not true, but Uncle Wu went to see it, and said that if it's too dangerous, if the wind is wrong, he'll buy it back. Maybe it'll be fine if he rushes."
Man Bao: "... a good idea, remember to worship the Lord Tianzun when celebrating the celebration."
Zhou Lijun turned around and looked at the cell they had just cleaned up, with a look of disgust on his face, "This cell is really messy, sister, let me clean it up for you."
After finishing speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and moved, and by the way, called the three people who were still talking at the side, "Uncle Daji, this curtain is propped up and hung on this corner, that Brother Xiang, please come and help me put it away." Leftovers on the table…”
Seeing her coming, Man Bao moved the medicine jars and wooden basins they had neatly arranged, and immediately opened his mouth to stop her, which was easily done by her and Bai Shan.
As a result, she had already taken out several wooden sticks from the back basket, and the servant of the Ministry of Punishment also stood aside with folded arms and watched. He just wanted to see what they were using the wooden sticks for.
Man Bao understood it at a glance, and immediately stepped forward to help him up. Sure enough, there were gaps in the wooden strips. Once he entered, he inserted a rivet, and the wooden strips were fixed.
Soon, a three-layer triangular tub shelf was ready.
Zhou Lijun quickly scooped water from the big wooden bucket, cleaned the two wooden basins, and placed them on the bottom and middle floors. Then he took out a new one from a large basket and put it on the top, and then Man Bao said: "Sister-in-law, this one belongs to you, and the second one belongs to Master Bai Shan. Let the Xiang brothers use the bottom one."
Man Bao nodded blankly.
The servant of the Ministry of punishment and the guards who came to watch.
Zhou Lijun's hands and feet were particularly nimble. She washed the pot for cooking porridge in distaste, and put it together with the medicine pot beside the small stove, saying, "Sister-in-law, use these two as medicine pots. You boil the water. Use this for hot stuff."
She took out an open urn from Daji's back basket, and put it directly on the big stove, not too big or too small, just right.
Seeing that Daji and the others had set up the curtains, she asked them to move the big wooden barrel to the corner here, and the leftovers on the table were also cleaned up quickly, so she started to take things out.
First, there was a big porcelain bowl, which was as big as a human head, and it was tightly covered. She opened it to Manbao to see, "Sister-in-law, these are the noodles that Uncle Six has pulled for you. You have dinner for dinner and tomorrow's breakfast." Eat this, eat as much as you want, the vegetables in this basket have been washed and picked, didn’t you say that people should eat the leaves of vegetables every day?”
She put the things on the table and took out a large porcelain bowl of the same size, opened it for her and said, "This is the scorpion, made of chopped mutton, and stewed together with dried bamboo shoots from home." Yes, the oil and salt have been adjusted for you, you put in the noodles, scald the vegetables, and pour a spoonful of saozi on top."
Man Bao and Bai Shan swallowed at the same time.
Zhou Lijun covered them, and said: "This is the simplest. Uncle Liu said, it's not good for you to give you complicated ones. It's not good for you to send them in after finishing them, but it's not good to bother the adults guarding the cell every day." Every meal is delivered, so we will give you one meal for a day."
Bai Shan and Man Bao nodded again and again, thinking that this method is good.
Zhou Lijun carefully took out a big bamboo tube from his back basket, and said, "This is the chicken soup stewed at home..."
Xiang Chang interrupted immediately, "This is for patients."
Zhou Lijun glanced at him and said: "I know, but we purposely served a little more, sister, you and Master Bai Shan also drink a little."
In addition, she brought a change of clothes for Man Bao and Bai Shan, and asked Xiang Chang to buy two more wooden barrels for the guards.
The servants of the Ministry of Punishment turned a blind eye and closed their eyes, and the guards made the money with joy.
The two back baskets were cleaned, Zhou Lijun went to take out another back basket, and brought out six books from it, she said: "I don't know what books you are reading, these are all packed by Master Bai Cheng, said It's what you are looking at, by the way, here are your pens and inks, the pen holder is not easy to get, I brought you a pen holder... "
Everyone: ...why don't you just move your family here
But with so many things, Zhou Lijun packed them neatly. Books, pens, inks, papers and inkstones were all placed on the side where Manbao slept, beside the edge of the kang, and there were not many things added to the room.
In the end, Zhou Lijun also took out an incense burner and a pack of incense slices, and she said: "You eat, drink, and scatter in this room, it must be very smelly, Madam Bai specially asked me to bring it here, and let you burn it in the room. If it’s not enough, we’ll get it for you when we come back.”
Now it's really gone.
Zhou Lijun asked Daji and Xiang Chang to take away the sundries they had put away, and when they finally put away the things, they found that apart from a separate space with a curtain in the other corner, the room was actually more tidy and spacious than before.
Man Bao took Zhou Lijun's hand with tears in his eyes, "Li Jun, I want to keep you here."
Zhou Lijun: "... Sister, if there is one more person in this room, it will be really crowded."
Xiang Chao stared dumbfounded, seeing that the person was about to leave, he finally remembered what he had been thinking about all along, "Medicine, medicine..."
Zhou Lijun said with tears in his eyes: "The grown-ups are still unwilling to accommodate the medicine."
The servant of the Ministry of punishment said angrily: "Just be content with it. From midnight yesterday to now, do you know how many waves of people I have blocked for you? It is not certain whether you will see people again when you come tomorrow. Master Wei didn't have a handbook." Take it, it is impossible for prescriptions and medicinal materials to come and go smoothly."
Hearing this, Bai Shan looked up at the servant of the Ministry of Justice, then nodded to Zhou Lijun and said, "It's okay, you go back, go back and tell your husband and grandmother about these things, so that they don't have to worry."
Zhou Lijun and Daji didn't hesitate, they turned around and went out, Xiang Chang opened his mouth, didn't know what to say, and left with a look of worry on his face.
Both Bai Shan and Man Bao respectfully bowed to the servant of the Ministry of Punishment to express their gratitude.
The servant of the punishment department glanced at them, nodded slightly, locked the cell door, and led them away.
As soon as the people left, Xiang Chao couldn't help asking, "What if there is no medicine?"
Bai Shandao: "There will be. Didn't you listen to what the Minister of Criminal Affairs said? He has blocked a lot of people for us since midnight last night. Not many people came to see us last night. I'm afraid most of them came today. He hasn't let anyone in until now, and it seems that the situation is very favorable to us."
Man Bao nodded, "Wait for Grandma Liu to go to Mr. Wei to remind her and get the handwritten letter. We still have enough medicine for two days."
Bai Shan went to flip through the book Zhou Lijun brought, and the one on the top was his "Spring and Autumn Annals". As soon as he opened it, the pages of the book immediately fell apart, revealing two thick letters sandwiched between them.
