Chapter 197: Meet the Old Friend

Shen Qingqing was at a loss when she first came here, and then she was able to pack up her mind and take care of Xiaodouding, and began to make glutinous rice dumplings and then make glutinous rice cakes, and there were many disputes with the villagers, and she also saw Aunt Lin's pungency and Aunt Wang's ancient heart, and finally slowly made it into a glutinous rice processing workshop, and Lin Zhong as a husband and wife.

Anyway, this place carries too many memories for her, a modern person has traveled here, this is also the memory she fought for, and Shen Qingqing suddenly wanted to leave.

When the group stood on the boat and looked at the gradually distant Jiudaoguan Town, Shen Qingqing's heart suddenly rose with a burst of sorrow.

Now that they are fleeing, what will happen to Jiudaoguan Town after that? Will they ever come back? Still an unknown.

"Sister, don't think about it, as long as a few of us are together, we will have a home wherever we go." That Yulian saw the reluctance in Shen Qingqing's heart, and hurriedly looked at her mouth to comfort her.

Shen Qingqing wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, shook her head and smiled, she sat on the bow of the boat and looked at the vast sea, and suddenly felt like a duckweed, and she didn't know where she was going to float in the next second.

The two children, Xiaodouding and Hanhan, just thought it was very fun to take the boat, and they laughed and laughed there.

"Yulian." Shen Qingqing lay on Yulian's shoulder, feeling like a child for the first time. "You don't know how I feel, and you don't know how melancholy I felt when I first came here."

"It's the first time you've come here, sister, aren't you a native of Jiudao Town?"

"I'm ......" Shen Qingqing's words choked up in his heart, and finally he had to shake his head. Isn't it? Anyway, we're all leaving now, and we'll see a date later. ”

"There will be a date later." Yulian also spoke with Shen Qingqing, and the heads of the two women leaned together.

And this road can be regarded as a rush, first by boat, and then by carriage, the carriage does not know how many days and nights Zhizhou is still as far away as the horizon.

If it is in the usual prosperous scene, it can be reached in two or three days, and the journey will not be available for half a month at this time.

And the house leak happened to be rainy, and when Shen Qingqing was sleeping on the carriage, Yulian suddenly patted her arm: "Sister, wake up quickly, I look at this cold and cold There is something wrong." ”

"What's wrong?" Shen Qingqing immediately woke up.

Two adults are fine, but if the child has the slightest problem, it is difficult.

"This morning, I felt cold and hot, and now his forehead is very hot."

As soon as Shen Qingqing touched his forehead, it was as hot as boiling water, and Han Han's whole body was like a small furnace with his eyes closed.

Shen Qingqing patted his face and called softly: "Han Han......"

But after screaming twice, he still didn't answer, if it was an ordinary cold and fever, it would be fine, Shen Qingqing was afraid that if he contracted the epidemic, it would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Shen Qingqing let Han Han drink the spiritual spring water he was carrying, and then added some clothes to him.

When the carriage stopped to rest, Shen Qingqing took Yulian and the two of them to the nearby mountains to pick some herbs, and now there are no conditions here, so they can only knead the herbs into juice and feed them to Hanhan's mouth in the most primitive way.

In less than half an hour, the fever finally subsided, and Shen Qingqing and Yulian glanced at each other, which could be regarded as frightening.

The carriage traveled for another two or three days before it arrived in Zhizhou, and when it had not yet entered the Zhizhou Mansion, Shen Qingqing saw a large group of people blocking the gate of Zhizhou from afar.

The carriage ran for a while and then stopped, and did not enter the governor's mansion at all.

"Why don't you go inside?" Shen Qingqing asked.

The groom pulled the horse rope and looked at the gate of the prefect: "Don't you see this lady?" The gate of the governor's mansion is closed, and I'm afraid we won't be able to get in. ”

"The door is closed." Shen Qingqing felt bad in his heart when he heard this, and hurriedly got out of the carriage.

Before, they saw those crowds across a hill, and it was indeed true, and the first few large tents were set up at the gate of Zhizhou, and many refugees were drinking porridge below, but the door was closed.

"Can we drive in?"

"Little lady, you see that this gate is tightly closed, and there are so many refugees at the door, it means that the official must have ordered this door to be closed, and we may not be able to enter if the refugees are not allowed to enter."

"How's that?" Yulian was also in a hurry.

They have come all the way here, and they can't even get into the door of Zhizhou.

Shen Qingqing knew that this matter was also in a hurry, so he walked into the greenhouse and found a big brother who looked good-looking and asked, "Big brother, do you know why this door is closed?" ”

The eldest brother drank white rice porridge and glanced up and down at Shen Qingqing: "You are also going to take refuge in Zhizhou, right?" ”

"Yes." Shen Qingqing nodded.

The eldest brother shook his head: "You go back quickly, go back from where you came from, you can't get in." ”

"Why?

Why did the eldest brother say it so absolutely?

The man snorted coldly: "If there was a big flood in normal times, we would have gone in a long time ago, but now there is an epidemic for fear that we will infect the people in Zhizhou, so we are not allowed to go in." ”

"Now that the epidemic has started?" Shen Qingqing has been rushing in the carriage these days, but he doesn't care about what is happening outside.

The man drank all the white rice porridge in one go: "And it's a large-scale outbreak, which makes people panic, this god really doesn't let people live." ”

When Shen Qingqing was about to say something, the white rice porridge in the eldest brother's bowl had already been drunk, and he went to ask for another bowl, so he simply stopped talking about it.

Shen Qingqing returned to the side of the carriage, and Yulian also asked, "But what did you ask?" ”

"There is an epidemic outside, and the prefect is afraid that the epidemic has infected the people in Zhizhou, so the door is closed."

"So we're going to go back the way we came?"

"How is that possible?" Shen Qingqing didn't think about it, and refused.

It will take more than a month to go back and forth, and they can withstand such a toss, but money can't withstand such a toss.

Shen Qingqing didn't stop doing anything, and walked directly to the gate.

The iron gate more than ten meters high could hardly see what the situation was inside, and there were guards with knives next to them who were angry when they saw Shen Qingqing coming, and the two guards took out their knives before they walked in: "What are you doing?" Do you know that this is not where you can come from a woman's house? ”

"Two big brothers." Shen Qingqing took out two copper plates from his pocket and put them in their hands. "Can you be accommodating for trouble, we came back from afar, and we have absolutely no epidemic on us, so we want to go to Zhizhou, can you let us in?"

The two guards glanced at it, threw the copper plate directly on the ground, and snorted coldly: "Want to go in?" But the prefect has decreed that no one can enter, and when I look at it, do you think you can bribe us with money? You little, don't move your mind anymore, hurry out, get out quickly. ”

"Alas, big brother, talk well, talk well, I also know the prefect, I don't know if I can be accommodating, let me say a word or two with the prefect?"

The guard was interested in putting down the knife, and glanced up and down at Shen Qingqing, the woman was beautiful, but she was a little more tired along the way, but she still couldn't hide the brilliance on her body, but so what?

One of the guards touched his beard with a mocking expression: "Do you still know the prefect?" I'm still a brother to the prefect! If you can't get in, you can't go in, you stinky hurry up. ”

"Ouch, big brother, you two ......"

When Shen Qingqing wanted to say something, the two guards directly put the knife on her body, and even if they were verbally intimidating, they also pulled out their knives to scare Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing saw that these two guards were probably ordered to die by the superiors, and they would not open the door for them, so he returned to the carriage in a gloomy manner.

Yulian also saw Shen Qingqing's expression and knew what the situation was, and she didn't ask.

However, Shen Qingqing was thinking in his heart that they couldn't get in now, it didn't mean that they didn't go, and they would have to find a good opportunity to talk to the prefect in the future.

Although this method is a bit shameless, in this year, face is the most useless thing.

When Shen Qingqing was thinking about it, suddenly a man wearing domestic servant's clothes came over, glanced at Shen Qingqing left and right before asking, "Are you Shen Qingqing?" ”

"Yes, I am."

"Alas, it's really Miss Shen Qingqing, our master is waiting for you over there, go over quickly."

"Who is your master?"

"You'll know it in the past."

What this subordinate said was really right, and when Shen Qingqing passed, he found that their master was not someone else, but Shen Qingqing's old acquaintance Zhen Qian.

Zhen Qian was more prescient, and when there was a big flood just now, he brought his wife and concubine and son to the Zhizhou Mansion, so he was able to meet Shen Qingqing.

Shen Qingqing's tears were about to flow when she saw Zhen Qian, and when she met her old acquaintance in a foreign country, Shen Qingqing couldn't help but be moved.

"How did you know that we were in that carriage?"

Boss Zhen poured a cup of tea for Shen Qingqing: "That carriage is Master Liu's carriage, there is a sign of their family on it, I only knew that there must be someone from Master Liu's family sitting in this carriage after reading that sign, and I observed for a while and found that it was you." How are you doing now? Is there a place to stay? ”

Shen Qingqing shook his head: "No, we originally wanted to enter the Zhizhou Mansion, but we didn't expect that now there is another epidemic, the doors of the Zhizhou Mansion are closed, and we can't get in, Boss Zhen, you have been here for a while, how do you live?" ”

"We have a mansion in the Zhizhou Mansion room, and we live there, how many of you are there? If there are not many people, I can take you in. ”

"That's really thankful." Shen Qingqing nodded hurriedly. "It's just me and Yulian, two adults, and two children. I won't be able to take up much of your room. ”

Zhen Qian touched his beard and waved his hand very generously: "It's okay." Pack up your things and follow me to my mansion, and you don't have to sleep outside. ”

Shen Qingqing was very grateful, and hurriedly thanked Zhen Qian.

And on the way, Zhen Qian was concerned about the situation in the town again: "When I left, the flood was not big, why are you even coming out now?" ”

"Don't mention it, our village has all been flooded, and the victims in that town are like ants, I think there is really no place to stay, so I came to Zhizhou."

The two of them talked and came to the mansion, don't look at them as refugees, but this mansion is like a courtyard where the rich and noble live permanently, there are many platforms and pavilions, and the garden is still red and willow green, and people walk by from time to time.

Although this Zhen Qian only opened a restaurant, it seems that he has not made less money before.

So in this way, Shen Qingqing and Yulian took the two children and lived in the mansion next to the Zhizhou Mansion first.
