After Yin Shuangshuang recovered from her illness, she heard about Lord County Magistrate encouraging the common people to make matches. Nowadays, every household in the county uses matches to light fires, which are much more convenient than fire starters and easier to preserve and carry than Fire Sticks.
This small thing, the match, once it appeared, quickly became a sensation in the county, and it even inspired poets and literati to compose poems about it.
However, this poet is just flattering the County Magistrate—on the surface he's praising the convenience of matches, but in reality, he's extolling the County Magistrate's care for the common people and his efforts to bring them welfare.
During Yin Shuangshuang's illness, Yin Zheng bought a large house he had fancied in the county. With a larger house, naturally, seven or eight more servants were added to the household.
