Reborn as the Blissful Wife in the countryside Chapter 1739: Little Ancestors

Nanny Tao smiled, "Madam is not lazy, she’s very diligent."

When the poisonous insect disease first broke out, Madam worked day and night making medicine, it pained her to watch.

After the crisis in Xing’an Prefecture was resolved and the gentleman returned, he strictly ordered them to keep an eye on Madam, only then did she stop exhausting herself in preparing medicine.

However, she remained very attentive to the anti-parasitic medicine, sending messages, the medicine, and some pharmacology booklets she wrote herself back to Doctor Wu, hoping to develop the anti-parasitic medicine soon.

She found the way, with the Insect Attractant at hand, there’s no rush to make the anti-parasitic medicine.

But Madam said, "Only by keeping useful things in your own hands can you afford to be lazy in the future."

So... you work hard now so you can be lazy later?

"If Madam is tired, go back to your room to rest. After dinner, this old servant will call you," Nanny Tao walked over and massaged Gu Jinli’s lower back.

Gu Jinli’s face immediately felt like it was on fire... Usually, Nanny Tao and the others would occasionally give her a massage, but today was different, they massaged her lower back, awkward!

Nanny Tao saw this and laughed, a young girl is indeed a young girl, no matter how fierce or thick-skinned she is usually, she can’t help but blush at matters of conjugal affection.

"What does Madam want for dinner tonight? Most of the meat is used up, tonight might not have any big meat dishes, but this old servant has used chicken bone frame to stew ginseng, Madam can have some ginseng soup for nourishment."

Due to the poisonous insect disease, many poultry and livestock inside and outside the city have been harmed, meat dishes are scarce, most of the meat was eaten during the Mid-Autumn Festival the day before yesterday, and the gentlemen came back yesterday and ate quite a bit of meat too, so today, there’s really no meat left to eat.

However, Nanny Tao has served Aunt Wu and is aware of the importance of women’s health, so she saved some chicken bone frame to stew ginseng soup.

Furthermore, "After dinner, we’ll use herbal medicine to soak Madam’s hands and feet, the body will feel much better."

Yuanzi Pharmacy, Aunt Wu, and Nanny Tao have some secret formulas for women’s body care, even the ladies in the palace use them, Nanny Tao confirmed the medicine was beneficial for women’s health before starting to slowly administer it to Gu Jinli.

Gu Jinli was awkwardly embarrassed, but she still nodded, "Alright, Nanny, you arrange it."

Caring for the body is something that, even if awkward, can’t be avoided; after all, with good health, pregnancy and childbirth won’t be as challenging.

"Madam." Xiao Ji’s voice echoed in the courtyard, he quickly stepped up to and entered the room, bowing respectfully before saying, "Madam, Senior Doctor Xu is here, saying the Four-footed Snake Liver is prepared, asking Madam to go to the medicine warehouse courtyard to check if it can be used?"

The Rong People’s Divine Medicine uses quite unusual herbs, some of the herbs are not available in Great Chu, Gu Jinli wrote several closely related herbs for Senior Doctor Xu and Doctor Fang to find, among them was the Four-footed Snake Liver, similar to the Newt Liver in the Divine Medicine.

"Prepared?" Gu Jinli was a bit excited, she turned to Erqing, "Bring me the pharmacology booklet I wrote for the anti-parasitic medicine, the one with the double-headed drawing."

"Yes." Erqing responded, searching the bookshelf in the inner room for a moment, he found a booklet with two skulls drawn on it and brought it out, "Madam, I found it."

Gu Jinli had already applied acne patches, she tucked the smelly purse into her pocket and called to Xiao Ji, Erqing, and Sanqing, "Let’s go to the medicine warehouse courtyard."

Nanny Tao did not go, staying in the room busy.

Gu Jinli quickly arrived at the medicine warehouse courtyard.

Senior Doctor Xu and Doctor Fang had been waiting and hurriedly came forward when they saw her, showing her the prepared Four-footed Snake Liver, "Mrs. Qin, have a look, is it effective?"

Gu Jinli: "...We’ll have to test it to know."

You all just hand it to me, I’m not a poisonous insect, how would I know if it works?

"Right, right, look at us two old fools, so excited we’ve become muddled, testing is necessary to know," Senior Doctor Xu shouted, "Poisonous insects, quickly bring the little ancestors of insects out!"

Well then, insects that everyone fears have now become little ancestors.

"Coming!" Beside the medicine warehouse courtyard, there’s a house heavily surrounded by green bricks, where jars are lined inside, housing poisonous insects.

Soon, specialized personnel came in, opened the house, took three bottles of insects out, and brought them to the medicine warehouse courtyard.

Senior Doctor Xu and Doctor Fang personally handled the Newt Liver from the Divine Medicine with great care, added an equal amount of Four-footed Snake Liver, packaged the new divine medicine, and hung it on a chicken.

Gu Jinli glanced at the chicken... Such a fat chicken used to lure poisonous insects is truly a shame. If it were used to stew with ham or pine mushrooms, or even for stir-fried chicken, it would be delicious.

Luckily she had just eaten, otherwise she’d probably be swallowing her saliva.

Nearby, there was also a piglet, carrying the original divine medicine on its body. Testing both medicines together was necessary to determine the effect.

Senior Doctor Xu raised his head and saw Gu Jinli staring at the fat chicken, swallowing hard, then at the piglet, looking regretful. Was she regretting the piglet hadn’t grown enough for meat stew?

Senior Doctor Xu’s beard twitched, he couldn’t help but ask, "Mrs. Qin, haven’t you eaten? Just bear with it, come over and see how the medicine works."

Currently, nothing is more important than testing the new divine medicine!

"Let’s test it." Gu Jinli withdrew her gaze and looked at the new divine medicine, "Everyone step back a yard, release the poisonous insects."

Xiao Ji pulled her back a yard distance too, "Madam, though we have the divine medicine, staying further away is beneficial."

The poisonous insects are fat, but still revolting.

"Alright." Gu Jinli nodded, pushed back, watching the insects’ reaction.

Senior Doctor Xu and Doctor Fang were also intently focused on the poisonous insects, silently praying to God: Bless us, don’t let the insects climb onto the fat chicken.

As long as the poisonous insects don’t climb onto the fat chicken, the new divine medicine is successful, otherwise, they’ll need to head to Rong Territory to search for Newt Liver.

Then, the little ancestors of insects showed no mercy, after climbing out of the bottle, they crawled around on the spot in circles for a moment before slowly crawling toward the fat chicken.

Gu Jinli said, "Seems it’s ineffective, take the chicken away."

If taken away now, it can still be eaten.

But Senior Doctor Xu and Doctor Fang were not willing to give up, "Looks like the movement has slowed, perhaps the new divine medicine works, let’s wait a bit longer."

However, until more than a dozen poisonous insects crawled onto the fat chicken, with some even entering through the chicken’s nostrils, the two doctors finally gave up.

"God does not bless us, why won’t it work? Is it really impossible for Great Chu to produce the insect repellent divine medicine?!"

Though the Insect Attractant is powerful, the people need to work, go out to earn money, there are always cases of getting infected by poisonous insects. If they forget to attract insects, or delay it, death can occur.

Lately, both inside and outside the city, there have been farmers who, due to agricultural work in the fields, accidentally got infected by poisonous insects and failed to promptly use the Attractant, resulting in death.

Gu Jinli said, "There’s no need to lose heart, the Four-footed Snake Liver is still useful, the insects’ speed did slow down. Let’s try using a larger dosage or add other similar herbs and try again; surely success will follow."

She handed over the pharmacology booklet to the two doctors, "This is my oral account, written by Nanny Tao, you two take a look, it might help in making the new divine medicine."

Writing with a brush is difficult, too much pharmacology to document, Gu Jinli wrote till she was exhausted, so she dictated, letting Nanny Tao handle the writing.
