Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside Chapter 1669: Fire

Qin San Lang nodded, but then stopped after just having a bite, and asked, "Does Doctor Lu know how to make the Insect Attractant?"

"Yes, the village on the mountain needs it too. With the relationship between us, I gave him the recipe." Seeing his restless mood, Gu Jinli frowned and asked, "What’s the matter, what are you worried about?"

Qin San Lang: "Brother Luo’s temperament is like Second Brother’s, always liking to take a risky path. He might leave at any time to avoid implicating us."

That’s why he asked if Doctor Lu can make the Insect Attractant?

Now that poisonous insects are rampant, the recipe for making the Insect Attractant is crucial. As long as Doctor Lu can make it, our cousin will be safe.

Gu Jinli thought of Luo Ying’s arrogance and agreed, "Your guess is probably half right. It seems our gifts can only be saved for another time."

Before evening, she had no excuse to pick up Granny Lei or send the congratulatory gift to the Lei Family Trading Team Mansion.

Qin San Lang said, "It’s okay, as long as everyone lives safely, we’ll have the opportunity to give the gifts later."

"Hmm, you’re right, let’s eat." Gu Jinli took out a slice of ginseng, brewed it into ginseng tea with hot water, and handed it to him: "Drink it after dinner."

Even though Luo Ying had criticized her verbally, he brought back quite a few good things last night, mostly supplements, which allowed her to eat cubilose.

"Alright." Qin San Lang replied, and under her gaze, happily finished his meal, paused for a moment, then drank the ginseng tea, hugged her, and said: "I’m leaving now, take care. If I don’t come back tonight, don’t wait for me, eat and sleep on time, you’ve been too tired recently, you need to take care of yourself."

Gu Jinli laughed: "I know, go on, I wouldn’t be silly enough to wait for you to come back before sleeping."

Though she said that, she still put on the acne patch, took the smelly purse and walked him out.

Halfway, they ran into Zhang Yan’s family of four. Mrs. Han greeted her cheerfully: "Sister-in-law Qin."

After Company Commander Zhang returned, Mrs. Han seemed spirited, and the children smiled more.

Gu Jinli was happy to see them: "Sister-in-law Zhang."

Qin San Lang, seeing her pleased, quickened his step, pulling her to the Zhang Family People, asked: "Brother Zhang, are you going to the government office now? Not resting for half a day?"

Zhang Yan shook his head: "No, the city is in chaos, Troop Commander Wu is dead, I need to help."

He then said openly: "I arrived late and didn’t manage to earn merits, so I must work harder for my wife and nephew and niece."

Such candid words are usually not shared easily with outsiders, but Zhang Yan said them, showing that he already sees Qin San Lang as a trusted brother.

Qin San Lang knew Zhang Yan’s family was really in need of military merits to deal with Mrs. Han’s uncle’s family: "The war has just started, Brother Zhang has plenty of opportunities to earn merits, no need to rush."

After comforting Zhang Yan with a sentence, the group headed towards the separate yard’s gate.

Upon reaching the gate, Qin San Lang and Zhang Yan agilely mounted their horses, waved to their families, and rode off.

"Dad and Uncle Qin are so impressive, when I grow up I want to learn horseback riding and lead troops in battle too!" Brother Yi looked at Zhang Yan and Qin San Lang riding away, full of excitement and admiration in his eyes.

Mrs. Han smiled, told Gu Jinli: "Brother Yi has become much livelier, I’m relieved now."

Boys being too dull and wooden are worrisome too.

She turned to Sister Yu, praised: "Our Sister Yu is also very sensible, but she can be a little more lively, a little girl should be picking flowers and catching butterflies."

Sister Yu, after hearing this, glanced at Gu Jinli, asked Mrs. Han: "Mom, can Sister Yu learn medicine and save people like Aunt Qin?"

Mrs. Han and Gu Jinli were taken aback by her question, asked her: "You want to learn medicine and save people?"

Sister Yu nodded: "The Rong people are so bad, they poisoned us, causing many people to get sick. If it weren’t for Aunt Qin, we would have died from the poisonous insect disease. That’s why Sister Yu wants to learn medicine to save people."

This?

Mrs. Han was troubled, not wanting to discourage her daughter’s desire to learn medicine and save people, but how could she, a granddaughter of an Earl Mansion, become a medical craftsman?

Seeing Mrs. Han’s dilemma, Gu Jinli personally told Sister Yu: "Sister Yu, learning medicine and saving people is not easy, you have to endure hardships and study for many years to acquire medical skills that can save lives. Plus, you are a granddaughter of an Earl Mansion, you have your duties, I’m afraid you won’t have time to go around saving people."

Sister Yu listened, her eyes were red, almost crying.

Gu Jinli quickly said: "But Sister Yu is a little rich girl, as long as you use Silver Coin to support those who want to learn medicine, train many doctors, you can still have an impact in saving the world."

Sister Yu: "Really?"

"Of course it’s true, when has your Aunt Qin ever lied to you?" Mrs. Han breathed a sigh of relief, continued eagerly: "The Northwest is in turmoil, there are many orphans, you can use your monthly salary, I’ll give you some Silver, buy those orphans, then hire doctors to teach them medical skills, once they are trained, have them save the world for you."

"Mom and Aunt Qin are so smart, Sister Yu will listen to you." Sister Yu was happy, Mrs. Han saw this and felt relieved, called Gu Jinli, and took the two children back home.

After parting with Mrs. Han and her family, Gu Jinli went to the pharmacy yard to busily work, but not long after, less than two hours, the city was in chaos.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

"The Lei Family Trading Team Mansion is on fire, everyone hurry to fight the fire!" Government officials ran through the streets and alleyways, beating the copper gong, calling on nearby residents to help fight the fire.

"What? The Lei Family Trading Team Mansion is on fire?"

Many households ran out, looking towards the Lei Family Trading Team Mansion. Sure enough, they saw thick smoke billowing from that direction, it was indeed on fire.

The fire was very large, judging by the color of the creeping smoke, the mansion must have been splashed with pine oil.

"Which wretched person splashed pine oil? The Lei Family Trading Team has helped everyone a lot."

"Why are we asking, grab a bucket, fetch water and fight the fire!"

In no time, nearby streets and alleyways were bustling, each household grabbed buckets and rushed to the Lei Family Trading Team Mansion to fight the fire.

On this side of the separate yard, Gu Jinli also directed Feng Jin to beat the gong and gather everyone: "Everyone grab buckets, sand and stones, go to the mansion to fight the fire, hurry!"

Gu Jinli instructed Danian to prepare the carriage, she took Nanny Tao, Erqing, Sanqing, Xiao Ji and others and rode the carriage towards the Lei Family Trading Team Mansion... She recalled Qin San Lang’s words at noon when he returned for lunch, speculated that this might be Luo Ying’s way to escape.

However, Ms. Gao Lei was still at the mansion, now that it’s on fire, she had to go check, bring Ms. Gao Lei back.

Danian quickly harnessed the carriage and led Gu Jinli and the others towards the mansion.

At the government office, Duan Changling was busy when he suddenly heard about the fire at the Lei Family Trading Team Mansion, he was startled, hurriedly said: "Luo Ying this thief is probably trying to escape, quickly shut all city gates, no one is allowed to leave the city!"

"Yes." A team of personal soldiers promptly rode towards the city gates.

Duan Changling then ordered the Deputy General: "Immediately deploy troops, rush to the Lei Family Trading Team Mansion, seal off all the streets there, don’t let anyone out!"

Luo Ying might not have left the city yet, if they hurried over there, they should be able to intercept him.

As for the decree issued by Emperor Jingwu, ha, now it’s Emperor Jingyuan’s realm, Luo Ying is a criminal Emperor Jingyuan wants to capture!
