Guan Yunlian pursed her lips, stopped at the kitchen door, and said to Chen Yuejiao: "It's time for your family to have a cat." I've seen rats this big several times. Aren't you afraid? ”

Chen Yuejiao giggled and said, "It's just a mouse, what's there to be afraid of?" He walked in.

Guan Yunlian saw that Chen Yuejiao didn't care, she was affected by her, and felt that she was making a fuss just now, so she smiled and walked in.

This time, Chen Yuejiao made a single cage of golden soufflé with her own hands, a very sweet snack.

Guan Yunlian had never eaten such a delicious golden soufflé, and she ate seven or eight in one go, until she couldn't eat it at all, and then put down her chopsticks.

Chen Yuejiao said with a smile: "There are still four or five left, I'll take the food box for you and take it back to the young grandmother to taste." ”

Guan Yunlian was a little hesitant, "Grandma may not know how to eat ......" If she knew that the Tao was made by Chen Yuejiao, Du Hengshuang would definitely throw the food box far away.

Chen Yuejiao winked at her, "It's okay, you said you bought it outside, don't say I made it." ”

Guan Yunlian smiled, knowing that Du Hengshuang might not be able to eat what he bought outside, but this golden cage cake was really delicious, and there was no such good thing to buy outside, so he would not be ashamed to take it, so he nodded and said, "That's a good thing for my cousin." ”

Chen Yuejiao brought over a mahogany openwork peony food box, with an agate plate inside.

Guan Yunlian's eyes lit up, and she smiled: "Yo, where did you get such a beautiful food box?" And this agate saucer. Tsk, cousin, you're getting more and more extravagant. ”

Slowly and methodically sandwiched the golden soufflé into the food box one by one, and Chen Yuejiao closed the lid. Handed it to Guan Yunlian, "What did my cousin say?" This is all thanks to the blessing of the crown princess. His Highness takes great care of us. - Take it. There are still a few days to catch the weekly ceremony, you have to be busy, take care of it. He also advised: "In April, it is cold and hot, and it is easy to be infected with the epidemic, so my cousin should take care of her life." ”

Guan Yunlian wanted to pat her chest and say that her body was fine, but who knew that she patted her chest twice and actually coughed.

This cough can't be stopped for a while. Only coughed and flushed. Sweat broke out on his forehead.

Sitting in the kitchen, a wind blowing in from outside, Guan Yunlian shivered, hugged her shoulders and said, "It's so cold." Why is it so cold in this house? ”

Chen Yuejiao glanced at Guan Yunlian. Laughing: "This is the kitchen." There is still a fire in the stove, how can it be cold? - Cousin, are you catching a cold? After speaking, he sighed and said, "Dare to be tired these days?" Go back and get some rest......" he said. Stuffed the food box into Guan Yunlian's arms, and walked out of the room first.

Guan Yunlian coughed for a while, felt better, got into the car with the food box, and went back to Xiao's house.

She didn't go back to her house first, but went to Du Hengshuang's yard first.

At this time, it was afternoon, the two children were taking a nap in the wing, and Du Hengshuang was reading the account book alone in the upper room.

Guan Yunlian walked in with a food box and smiled at Du Hengshuang: "Sister-in-law is busy?" ”

Du Hengshuang raised her head and saw Guan Yunlian's face flushed with a strange flush, and her eyes were in a trance, so she stood up with concern and asked, "Second brother and sister, what's wrong with you?" ”

Guan Yunlian wiped the sweat on her head with her hand, and was also a little confused, "I don't know what's going on with Lu Dao, I feel very cold, but I can't help sweating on my body." ”

Du Hengshuang walked over and reached out to probe Guan Yunlian's forehead, which was as hot as fire.

Du Hengshuang was startled, hurriedly retracted his hand, and said to Guan Yunlian: "Second brother and sister, you are sick, hurry back to rest, I will order the steward of the outer courtyard to invite Su Su to come over and take a look." ”

Guan Yunlian hurriedly said: "I don't have anything to do, just go back and sleep." - Sister-in-law, there are some snacks here, it's me...... My cousin made it herself, sister-in-law try it. She thought about it, but she still wanted to help Chen Yuejiao talk. She knew that there was probably some misunderstanding between her cousin and sister-in-law, and she wanted to be a middleman to reconcile the two of them.

Of course, Du Hengshuang wouldn't want Chen Yuejiao's things, and said with a smile: "Your cousin's good things, you can keep them for yourself, I don't like to eat dim sum." "Shirk twice, Guan Yunlian couldn't, so she had to go back with the food box.

Du Hengshuang looked at Guan Yunlian's stumbling back, very uneasy, and hurriedly ordered the steward of the outer courtyard to invite Zhu Susu to come over.

Zhu Susu heard that someone was sick, so he hurriedly came over with a medicine box on his back.

"Who's sick? Let the steward invite me. Before Zhu Susu entered the door, the voice came in first.

Du Hengshuang stood up, pointed to the direction of Xiao Tai in the second room, and said, "It's the second brother and sister, I look a little bad, my forehead is hot, I walk with flutters, and I sweat, but I feel cold." ”

Zhu Susu sounded strange and hurriedly said, "How long has it been?" ”

Du Hengshuang thought for a while, "It didn't take long, right?" I saw my mother-in-law in the morning that she was fine. ”

Zhu Susu was about to go over with the medicine box on her back, and said: "The end of spring and the beginning of summer is the time when the epidemic is epidemic, if she is infected with the epidemic, she has to move elsewhere, otherwise the whole family will inevitably live." ”

Du Hengshuang remembered that the big kitchen in the inner courtyard and the small kitchen in Xuanrong Hall were originally assigned to Guan Yunlian to take care of, but fortunately she had not yet taken office, but she had to arrange other people, so she said to Zhu Susu: "You go over first, I will go over and take a look after I have arranged the things here." ”

Zhu Susu nodded and waved his hand at Du Hengshuang, "Don't worry, I'll go over and take a look." ”

At the same time, Chen Yuejiao ordered someone to clean up in the kitchen, sprinkled snow-white lime everywhere, and called the craftsman to come over and build a new kitchen next to the wing room on the other side, and the old kitchen was temporarily sealed and waited for the lime to disperse.

After cleaning up the kitchen, Chen Yuejiao sent someone to send a letter to Long Shuzhi, which contained only two words, "It's done." ”

Long Shuzhi was overjoyed when she saw it, and hurriedly sent someone to Xiao's house to find Xiao Taiji, and also said these two words to him.

When Xiao Tai got the letter, he immediately stayed in the study and did not go back.

When Zhu Susu came to the inner courtyard of the second room of the Xiao family, Guan Yunlian was already lying on the bed, burning so much that she began to talk nonsense.

"What's going on?" Zhu Susu was taken aback, hurriedly put down the medicine box, and sat on the side of Guan Yunlian's bed. Begin to cut her pulse.

His pulse was beating unusually fast, and his face was dark.

Zhu Susu was shocked, and then asked the maid who was waiting next to her, knowing that Guan Yunlian had vomited several times just now, all of which were vomited blood, and diarrhea, which was pulled out was also blood, and urine was also blood.

Finished......

Zhu Susu's heart sank, and he hurriedly took out a pair of homemade Shuanglin silk gloves from the medicine box. Put it on your hand. Feel Guan Yunlian's carotid artery, and her heartbeat.

The heartbeat is intermittent and almost exhausted.

Swollen lymph nodes under the neck.

Zhu Susu remembered the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" she studied day and night, and her heart couldn't stop sinking.

She thought. She had encountered the most powerful infectious disease since she came to this world. - The plague. Also known as the Black Death. People here also call it "typhoid fever".

Looking at Guan Yunlian's situation, it is the most virulent and the most lethal septicamic plague. Even in the modern era where she once lived, the mortality rate of septicaemic plague was 100 percent, and it took only 24 hours from onset to death.

In other words, Guan Yunlian can't see the sun tomorrow.

Zhu Susu was dazed, and his hands moved away from Guan Yunlian's neck with some trembling.

Guan Yunlian opened her eyes widely, looked at the top of the tent, and muttered nonsense, "Master Hei came to pick me up...... I'm not going...... I'm going to have a snack...... Cousin's Golden Cage Crisp ......"

Zhu Susu suddenly remembered that Du Hengshuang said that she had seen Guan Yunlian today!

There are two children on Du Hengshuang's side who will turn one year old in a few days!

Zhu Suhuo stood up suddenly, and said to the people in the room: "Stay here for me, don't go out!" He walked to the window, looked at the courtyard outside, and shouted, "Someone! Go and call the young grandmother over quickly! Just say I'm in a hurry! ”

The mother-in-law outside looked at each other, and finally pushed a bold one out and went to the big room opposite to see Du Hengshuang.

Du Hengshuang packed up the account book, and was about to see if the two children had woken up, when she heard that Zhu Susu was looking for her in an emergency, thinking that Guan Yunlian's illness was in trouble, so she hurriedly rushed to the courtyard of the second room with Zhihua.

Who knew that Zhu Susu didn't allow her to come in, so he asked her to stand under the corridor outside and talk to her, "Hengshuang, there is bad news." - You can't go back to the big house for the time being. ”

Du Hengshuang was inexplicable, looked around, and saw that the maid and wife in the second room were also confused, and they didn't know what was going on.

"Susu, what the hell is going on? You come out and speak. Du Hengshuang spoke patiently to the window.

Zhu Susu shook his head, "I can't come out for the time being, I have to stay here for a day and a night." You ordered someone to fetch a few zhang of white cloth and light a fire in the courtyard, and throw all the things that your second young grandmother touched after she came back today into the fire and burn them. At the same time, let people go and get the spirits, and scrub them all over the yard. Also, get some more lime, put it in the jar, and bring it in for me. ”

Du Hengshuang was terrified when she heard this, one hand was clutched to her chest, and she was a little out of breath, "What happened?" You've got to make it clear, right? ”

Zhu Susu shook his head, "If you listen to me, I will naturally not harm you." The real reason, I can't say for the time being. "Having said that, I'm afraid it will cause a big panic.

She found out about Yunlian's situation early and responded in time, and she should be able to control the impact to the minimum.

She knew that once the plague really spread in this time and space, the consequences would be unimaginable.

When the "Black Death" raged in Europa, the continent was empty, and almost the entire continent became a no-man's land.

It was Zhang Zhongjing's "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases" that reached Europe and saved the people of Europa from suffering the fate of extinction.

Zhu Susu took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and said to Du Hengshuang: "Also, none of the people in the second room here are allowed to go out, and they have to stay here all the time." From now on, within twelve hours, if there is no high fever, it will be able to get out. Anyone who has a high fever must go to the side room and stay. ”

Zhu Susu said, took out a pen and paper from the medicine box, and wrote down the prescription she had been brewing for a long time.

"Cinnamon sticks, peonies, ginger, jujubes, and boiled licorice, three taels each, catch them and boil soup in the yard. Everyone drank a bowl and got through the twelve hours. Zhu Susu calmly handed over the prescription. This is just a prescription for prevention, it really has some effect, and she has to be marinated with her Chinese shepherd's cabbage.

Du Hengshuang suddenly understood, took the prescription with trembling hands, and asked, "Can you let Zhihua go away?" ”

Zhu Susu asked: "When the second young grandmother went to your big house, was the painting girl in the house?" ”

Du Hengshuang shook his head. "She's not here. She went to the storeroom at that time. ”

Zhu Susu agreed, "Everything has a girl who knows how to paint." ”

Zhihua turned white and asked Du Hengshuang: "Grandma, what happened?" Why can't the young grandmother go back to the big house? ”

Du Hengshuang tried her best to calm her tone, and said slowly: "I have something to do, you go first." There's a lot of work for you out there. ”

Zhihua was busy, and he went out to grab the medicine without mentioning it, and told Xiao Yi again, and sent more people to look at the inner courtyard of the second room, and no one was allowed to go out. At the same time, according to Zhu Susu's instructions. The coachman who carried Guan Yunlian out of the city was also locked up in a separate house, and no contact was allowed with others.

Du Hengshuang learned that Guan Yunlian was sick when she came back from Chen Yuejiao's house, and she was a little puzzled, but there was no evidence for the time being. She didn't have much to say. I just want to wait for Guan Yunlian to get better tomorrow. Ask again.

This night, Du Hengshuang wore the big hat sent to her by Zhihua, and sat under the porch of the upper room of the inner courtyard of the second room for a night.

There was a fire burning in the yard all the time. Guan Yunlian's clothes, bedding, and all the curtains and brocade tents in the inner room were torn off and thrown into the fire and burned.

At the same time, according to Zhu Susu's instructions, he grabbed the medicine and boiled the cinnamon soup for everyone to drink.

The people in the second room were waiting in the courtyard anxiously, not knowing what was going on.

In Guan Yunlian's inner room, only Zhu Susu stayed there alone, carefully observing and recording Guan Yunlian's symptoms.

Before dawn, Guan Yunlian couldn't get through it, vomited the most spitting out a mouthful of black blood, and died on the bed with her eyes rolled.

Zhu Susu looked at Guan Yunlian, who was blackened all over, and shook his head with a wry smile. She knew that she would not be so lucky.

Good things don't come to her, but bad things come to her door one after another.

Guan Yunlian died, but the plague bacillus can survive for weeks to months inside the corpse.

Zhu Susu gritted his teeth, sprinkled a white cloth wrapped in lime on Guan Yunlian, and covered her tightly with lime.

The other maids and wives were crowded in the east room opposite, waiting anxiously for Zhu Susu to speak.

It was dawn, and the sun shone in the courtyard of the second room.

Zhu Susu's tired voice came out, "Everyone goes to stand in the sun for a day, and by the time the sun sets in the afternoon, there is no high fever, and there is no trouble." ”

She knew that although the plague bacillus was powerful, if it had not yet invaded the organism, it could kill the germs in direct sunlight for four to five hours.

Zhu Susu spoke, but the subordinates in the second room did not move.

Du Hengshuang didn't sleep all night, and his eyes were bloodshot. She stood up and said lightly: "Do what Zhu Lang said." ”

All the subordinates in the inner courtyard of the second room rubbed out of the house one by one and stood in the sunlight in the courtyard.

The fire in the middle of the courtyard was still blazing, and the temperature around it was warmer than anywhere else.

Yersinia pestis also does not like high temperatures, and this temperature, although it is a drop in the bucket, is better than nothing.

Zhu Susu sat alone in the inner room, sprinkling lime on Guan Yunlian's corpse over and over again.

By the time the sun had set, twelve hours had finally passed.

Only an older mother-in-law in the second room had a low-grade fever, and everyone else was fine.

Xiao Yi, the chief manager of the outer courtyard, sent a message that the coachman who was carrying Guan Yunlian out of the palace also had a fever, but fortunately, there was no high fever, just a low fever.

Zhu Susu touched his forehead. Fortunately, she did not have a fever.

"Alright, let's all get out of the way. Continue to scrub the yard with spirits, and at the same time let Xiao Yi get a coffin in, your second young grandmother passed away this morning. Zhu Susu said to the outside of the courtyard.

"Huh?" The subordinates in the second room were stunned.

The second young grandmother, who scolded and punished her subordinates yesterday, actually died after being sick overnight?!

The maids looked at each other, wondering what had happened.

The older mother-in-law keenly felt that something was wrong.

They're all from here.

When the Great Zhou Dynasty was in turmoil, there was a plague in the suburbs of Chang'an City.

At that time, those who came to heal the sick were like the Langzhong, who used fire and lime to isolate those who were plagued.

"What disease does the second young grandmother have?" Some began to whisper.

Du Hengshuang frowned. She knew that this matter must not be spread.

Guan Yunlian is already dead, and there is no need to cause more panic.

"The second young grandmother bumped into the guest and was hooked. I asked you to stand in the courtyard and let the sun shine, to see if any of you were in the same situation as the second young grandmother. Zhu Susu didn't want to say that Guan Yunlian had the worst "Black Death" in the plague, but changed the way of saying that it would not cause panic, and said in the house, while instructing: "Come on, bring the coffin in." ”

Xiao Yi quickly bought a Nanmu coffin.

A few servants carried the coffin to the door of the inner courtyard of the second room, replaced a few mothers-in-law, and carried it all the way to Guan Yunlian's inner room.

Zhu Susu personally sprinkled the coffin with lime, then wrapped his hands in a white cloth, tied Guan Yunlian's body with a rope, put it in the coffin, and then sprinkled all the lime in the jar.

After the last time, it took a lot of effort to close the coffin lid.

"The mourning hall is located in the upper room. This courtyard will not be able to live in the future. Zhu Susu said to Du Hengshuang outside the door.

Du Hengshuang nodded, a little dizzy. However, she touched her forehead, and there was no fever, knowing that she was probably tired.

Thinking of Guan Yunlian carrying a mahogany open-carved peony pattern food box to the big room yesterday, Du Hengshuang hurriedly asked, "What about the food box that your second young grandmother brought back yesterday?" ”

A maid pointed to the fire and said timidly: "Zhu Langzhong ordered it to be burned, and the slave and maid threw it in." ”

Du Hengshuang shook his head helplessly.

Wait for Zhu Susu to come out, and then add it up with her.

"Everyone took off their coats and threw them into the fire." After Zhu Susu and the little guy who carried the coffin in left, he commanded again.

Anyway, this courtyard was full of women, and everyone was nervous for a day and a night, and there was nothing taboo, so they all quickly took off their coats and threw them into the fire.

Du Hengshuang also took off her coat, including the silver rat daze that Zhihua sent to her yesterday.

"I went to deliver a letter to Xiao Yi, the chief steward of the outer courtyard, and said that I would not do it to catch the Zhou ceremony, and let him apologize to the guests who posted the post, and send them one by one." Du Hengshuang finished speaking calmly, his eyes darkened, and he fainted in Zhu Susu's arms.
