Yu Youyao did not know what was wrong with her. She actually thought of this. For a moment, her face turned red and she did not dare to look at Yin

Huaixi directly.

She quickly chased these messy thoughts out of her mind and blamed all of this on the fact that the two of them were too close.

Her Eldest Aunt had also said that at this age, her thoughts were wandering. Even if they held hands, she would be shy. This was human nature.

There was a suffocating awkwardness in the air.

Yin Huaixi’s nose was pinched, so he couldn’t speak. Yu Youyao didn’t know what to say for a moment.

After an unknown period of time, Yin Huaixi felt that his breathing was irregular and he was about to suffocate. Then, he said in a low voice, “It— It doesn’t seem to be flowing anymore.”

Yu Youyao quickly let go and took a step back. Then, she regretted letting go too quickly. She hadn’t even confirmed if his nose was really not bleeding.

At the thought of this, she quickly said, “Continue to raise your head. After making sure that your nose doesn’t bleed, slowly lower it.”

Yin Huaixi nodded in response to Yu Youyao’s anxious and concerned gaze.

After a while, Yu Youyao stepped forward to support his head and slowly straightened it. It was indeed not bleeding anymore. “Fortunately, it didn’t continue to flow. Otherwise, we would have to hire a doctor.’

Spring was hot, and his liver was on heaty. Occasionally, he would have a nosebleed. It wasn’t a big deal, but it wouldn’t work if he bled too much.

As she spoke, she picked up a wet handkerchief from the copper basin and was about to help Yin Huaixi wash the blood off his nose.

As soon as she approached, Yin Huaixi’s entire body stiffened. He kept feeling that his nose was about to bleed again, so he quickly looked up.

Seeing him raise his head again, Yu Youyao was shocked. “Is your nose bleeding again? You must have worked too hard recently. I’ll get someone to get a doctor to take a look.”

Yin Huaixi quickly lowered his head. “No, no. It’s just that my nose is sticky and a little uncomfortable. Don’t worry.” He suddenly remembered that he had eaten sea cucumbers, medicinal cuisine, Eight Treasures Cake, Frankincense cream cake, and so on for the past few days. He had eaten different food and found the perfect excuse for his nosebleed. “I’ve probably overnourished myself in the past two days.”

“That’s impossible.” Yu Youyao’s words were firm, but she inexplicably felt a little guilty. Her eyes wandered. In order to strengthen her persuasiveness, she said, “I’ve prepared medicinal cuisine for you to nourish your body and mind. How can it be overly nourishing?”

The more she spoke, the more guilty she felt. Towards the end, even her voice becmuch softer, and even her toes felt guilty.

In the past few days, the temperature had clearly increased. If he ate too much nourishing food, the effect would indeed stack up and it would be easy for his blood to suffer from excessive internal heat.

However! She would never admit that this was her fault.

Yu Youyao said self-righteously, “It must be because you’ve been overworked recently. You’re too tired and angry. You’re not allowed to do this again.” Yin Huaixi was speechless.

What bad intentions could the little girl have? The little girl was just worried about his health. He had to be obedient and not ungrateful. “Yes, you’re right.

I’ll definitely take more care of my health in the future.”

Satisfied, Yu Youyao picked up her wet handkerchief again.

“I’ll do it myself.” Yin Huaixi quickly reached out to take the wet handkerchief and covered his face. The cold handkerchief eased the heat on his face and he calmed down.

Yu Youyao turned around and poured a cup of warm water. She handed it to him. “In the past few days, your diet has been lighter. No matter how busy you are every day, you have to maintain six hours of sleep. If you really can’t leave, burn an incense pill when you’re free. Take a nap for a while. The incense pill is serene, eliminates trouble, and relieves dryness. You have to drink more water.’

Yin Huaixi noted them down one by one.

Yu Youyao paused for a moment before instructing, “The first batch of incense medicine from the Jade Fragrance Workshop has already been made. There are a total of three large boxes. Bring them over together! Currently, the operations of the incense shop have already been standardized and perfected. There are also all the medicinal herbs and spices. There will be more in the next batch.’

There was naturally no need to mention the prestige of the Yue Fei’s Residence in Liaodong.

Although she was the one who had first suggested avoiding the epidemic, after the call from Madam Huang and General Ning Yuan’s wife, the commoners were actively responding. Those who had money donated money, while those who didn’t donated medicine.

There were many effective ways to prevent and treat the epidemic, the most common and effective being sulfur and mugwort.

When bathing, one should put sulfur powder in the water to cleanse the body.

One should also burn mugwort in the house to get rid of insects and poison.

The commoners of the Great Zhou Dynasty all had the habit of cutting, drying, and saving mugwort at home. Many commoners donated the excess mugwort at home.

Yin Huaixi nodded. “When we were taking in the refugees, we had already made the corresponding preparations for the subsequent consequences. Only the medicinal herbs were a little lacking. However, if the government wants to gather medicinal herbs, they also need the support of the commoners. This matter has never been settled. Now, the donations from the Xie and Bai Residences can be considered to have resolved their worries.’

Yu Youyao felt relieved. “Be careful.”

Yin Huaixi promised her, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely be back before the

Dragon Boat Festival at the latest.”

There was still a month before the Dragon Boat Festival. Yu Youyao felt rather reluctant. “By the way, the first batch of sweet potato seedlings was very successful. I’ve already informed Military Advisor Huang and asked him to communicate with the government to distribute the first batch of planted sweet potato vines to the newly resettled refugees through the government. Before the refugees were resettled, they had already registered their household registration. They only need to take their household registration certificates to the government to register and reclaim the size of the fields to receive the corresponding sweet potato vines.”

When Yin Huaixi heard this, he felt relieved.

The planting of vines had expanded the scale of the planting of sweet potatoes and resolved the problem of the shortage of vines. About a month after the vines were planted, the refugees had a source of food for themselves.

Yu Youyao said, “Seventy percent of the harvest will belong to the refugees. The other 30% will belong to the government, among which 10% belongs to the Yue Fei’s Residence, and the other 10% belongs to me. When the refugees receive the vines, the government will ask if they agree. Their fingerprints are required to receive the vines.”

Yin Huaixi immediately understood what she meant. “There’s no free lunch in the world. Be it the government or the Yue Fei’s Residence, they’ve paid a huge amount of manpower, resources, and financial resources to accommodate the refugees. Half of the sweet potatoes that grow seedlings cfrom you. You should indeed receive a certain amount of remuneration. If everything goes according to the refugees, it will make the refugees take it for granted.”

It was as if because they were refugees, everyone should give in to them and help them for free.

If the rules were not set now, something would definitely happen after the refugees were settled.

Thirty percent of the total harvest was not much for high-yielding sweet potatoes. As long as one was diligent and planted half an acre of land, it was enough for the family to eat.

Yu Youyao had thought about this very thoroughly.New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on ɴoᴠel Fɪre.nᴇt

Yu Youyao indeed thought so. “Let them be reminded that it’s tto live a stable life in the future.’

After sending Yin Huaixi off, Old Madam Sun returned from the government office and reported, “Tomorrow, Lord Ye is going to the government office to hold a hearing on Liu Dagen’s case. Lord Ye specially askedto ask if the princess is going to the government office to be interrogated.”
