Liu Yonghui said with a smile: "The white mule of the third aunt's family was pulled by Brother Ping to exchange for a gray mule and came back. ”

The Zhang family has an impression of this matter, and the Zhou family deliberately praised his son in the crowd at that time, "Brother Ping is the most capable, and when he goes out, he will exchange the white mule at home with a gray mule, so that he can take advantage of it more than before." It's a pity that some people just can't see his merits. ”

The person who can't see Liu Yongping's merits in her mouth insinuates that she refers to the fourth room.

Zhang didn't want to be like her, so he didn't answer at all.

"Now the gray mule has rained down, and has become a white mule again. In exchange for mules, the third aunt posted five taels of silver. Liu Yonghui couldn't hold back a smile, "It's just that I painted some grass and wood ash and pulled it back." ”

Zhang reacted and smiled.

As for the conflict between the three and the other, Zhang had heard about it, and thought that Zhou would reflect on it, but he didn't expect that he would not have grown at all, if there was no Liu Yonghui's words, it is estimated that she would be ready to sue for grievances next.

Zhang's was too lazy to take care of the affairs of the third room, and said to Liu Yonghui: "It's hard enough for you to run back and forth like this, and your mother and they should have dinner, so stay here and have lunch with Brother Bao." ”

Liu Yonghui responded.

Before the meal was served, a warden named Chen Qi came to pass the word, "Lord County Lieutenant, I told the old man to tell you to quickly notify the towns, prohibit people from entering and leaving, if someone has a fever, they need to be quarantined, there is malaria in Dingyuan County, and many people have died." ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

After a while, Zhang Shiqiang smiled and said, "Little brother shouldn't have lunch yet, I've just finished it here, you can eat with us and then go to work." ”

Chen Qi hurriedly waved his hand: "No need, I only came here after eating." ”

Zhang said: "Even the houses in the city are empty, where is the stove for cooking?" You work under our master, and when you come to the house, you are your own person, and you don't add food to you alone, what is there to be ashamed of. ”

Zhang heard Liu Chengfang mention Chen Qi.

He is fifteen years old this year, his father was originally in charge of the postal service, and when the earth moved, he believed that Huang Zhifu did not go out of the city to die, and there was only a grandmother in her eighties at home, who was saddened to learn the bad news and passed away. Keeping him to make up for his father's errand, and listening to Liu Chengfang say that the river water after the earth moved was not drinkable, and he was just hungry and full every day.

Now listening to Zhang's is not just a simple politeness, but a sincere stay for him to eat, and it is okay.

The steamed buns for lunch are braised eggplant, cold amaranth, bitter gourd stir-fried meat, and wild mushroom soup simmered by old hens.

Take other people's soft hands and eat other people's soft mouths. As soon as Chen Qi sat down, he opened the conversation, "Now the people in the city are talking about setting up immortal cards for Liu Sanyuan and Qiao Tanhua, if it weren't for them beating gongs and drums everywhere at night and shouting out of the city, I don't know how many people will die in our city." ”

"If you read a belly of books, shouldn't you do something good for the people? Otherwise, it will be in vain for me to provide for him for so many years. Zhang said. Although she likes to hear others praise her son, she is more concerned about malaria, "Isn't it that our city is the most severely affected, why does malaria occur in other counties?" ”

Chen Qidao: "Auntie, you are not at the scene, you don't know how scary it is when the ground moves, some people are crazy even if they are not dead, when they are so hungry that they can't stand it, not to mention dead pigs, dead chickens, dead beef, and they are boiled and eaten, even the injured people who can't walk are also boiled and eaten by them." ”

Zhang frowned: "You kid, make up some nonsense to scare your aunt." ”

"Tongzhi told us that those dead corpses can't be eaten indiscriminately, and if they eat them, they will have an epidemic." Chen Qi thought that Zhang's didn't believe it, "It was said by the warden of the household in Dingyuan in the mansion." The road leading from Dingyuan County to Fucheng was buried, and the people sent by Hou Ye to investigate the disaster did not go at all, and Lu Zhixian sent someone to intercept him in the middle of the road, deceiving people with lies. ”

Chen Qi regretted it after speaking, "Auntie, the prefect and the same acquaintance have already explained, you can't talk nonsense about this matter, you just don't hear it." After he finished speaking, he wiped his mouth, drank the chicken soup in one go, and stood up to leave.

Zhang didn't keep him, only brought him a sack with two watermelons, "as tea." ”

Chen Qixin said, there is food, drink and taking, no wonder everyone wants to rob him when he assigns things.

pushed it once, but Zhang insisted on letting him take it. He happily carried the melon on his back and went with Liu Yonghui.

Wang Jing said to Zhang: "Mother, why don't I go to see my father, he is alone in the city, and it is always a little worrying." ”

When she heard that she had malaria, Zhang was already anxious, and her son and husband were in the city, so how could she not worry?

"You little girl's house, it's so messy now, if you go again, my mother will be even more worried." Zhang said.

"Mother forgot, I learned medical skills from my master, didn't I prescribe you for typhoid fever last time?" Wang Jing said.

Zhang said: "You have only been studying medical books for a few days, but now you are malaria, and I heard that that kind of disease cannot be cured." "What if someone is killed?

"Mother, if it's really malaria, and it's so close to us, if it's not controlled, we're afraid that it's not safe here, since my daughter has learned medical skills, it's always difficult to sit and ignore it." Wang Jing said seriously.

Zhang said: "Even if there is malaria, isn't there still an official government?" What's the matter with my daughter! ”

Wang Jing smiled bitterly: "Mother, my father is now a fellow acquaintance, if malaria really occurs, the casualties are too large, and the condition is not well controlled, the government is afraid that my father will be held responsible; It's so close, and we're not necessarily safe here. ”

Zhang's heart "chuckled", but he didn't stop Wang Jing anymore.

"Your father, you've got a mess." She said.

This really made Zhang's words right.

The great plague will be followed by a plague.

Take this earthquake as an example, it happened during the hottest time of the year, and those dead animals and humans themselves carried a large number of bacteria and infectious diseases, but ignorant humans ate them in order to wrap their stomachs. Since they have eaten the dead bodies, they are afraid that the drinking water source has not been controlled. And so on, the disinfection work is only afraid that it has not been done well, there are a lot of flies and mosquitoes, and it is strange that there is no plague.

Dingyuan County is subordinate to Haozhou Guan, didn't Liu Chengke just pick up a mess?

This matter has been reported to the imperial court, and not only that, but he is also on the fold of Ding Wei.

In this way, although the official position is lost, there is no need to worry about the lives of the family.

Less than half a month after the Han Governor's Mansion took office, he immediately changed the face of the imperial court, which is a little unsightly.

Prime Minister Yu took the opportunity and said: "The dragons can't be without a leader, it's better to seal the prefect of the same knowledge first, and temporarily manage Haozhou. Let him be the magistrate of Dingyuan, and send someone from the Tai Hospital to treat malaria. ”

Didn't you say that the emperor was benevolent, and the earth movement did not cause a catastrophe? What about the ensuing malaria? Didn't you say that the emperor had a discerning eye for talent? Why did the appointees have an epidemic as soon as they took office?

These words not only knocked the emperor, but also knocked Jinghaihou. Isn't that the one you're promoting? If something happens, you have to continue to bear it!

Most of the courtiers seconded the matter when the prime minister spoke, and a few remained silent.

The emperor felt that this matter was inappropriate, and it was difficult to speak alone.

Liu Chengfang's promotion at this time is no less than a barbecue on the fire.
