Chapter 618 Explained
Lin Yao is worthy of being the descendant of the divine doctor, less than two days after he returned to Beijing, he made the antidote, and the toxicity of the plague was also touched.
This is a kind of epidemic poison under the Miaojiang people, and the original source of the poison is no longer found, and even if it is found, it is dead.
What we know now is that this virus will not attack for a long time at the beginning, so once the epidemic is reported, such a large number of people will appear all of a sudden.
After the outbreak of this poison in full force, it means that the virulence has intensified again, so when it is transmitted to others, the time for others to attack will become faster and faster.
At this time, detoxification is a big challenge, because during the time you make the antidote, you can infect a large number of people, and in the process, the toxicity has mutated again.
But fortunately, even if the doctors couldn't make an antidote before this, they could still make some drugs that inhibit the development of toxicity, which greatly delayed the time and reduced the number of deaths.
Fortunately, Wu Niang proposed to isolate people alone, otherwise, countless poisoned people would be crowded together, and the mutation rate of the toxicity would be faster, in that case, let alone wait for Lin Yao to come back, even if Doctor Xiao came in person, he would not be able to return to the sky.
The antidote has been made, but it still needs to be tried to have an effect, otherwise, it will be easy to have the opposite effect when used on those patients at once.
Just when everyone was busy fighting the epidemic with all their might, Gu Chen's army finally arrived at the edge of the capital, and Song Yu led hundreds of civil and military officials to greet him.
Then the army went to the camp, Gu Chen led thousands of elite soldiers into the city, and countless ordinary people rushed out of their homes to greet them, cheering along the way.
Gu Chen, who hadn't seen his wife and daughter for a long time, couldn't hold back at the moment, and wanted to fly back to the house as soon as possible to hug them.
It's a pity that he still has to enter the palace to resume his life.
Gu Chen endured the irritability in his heart, asked the deputy general to settle the remaining soldiers and horses, and followed Song Yu into the palace.
He captured Miao Jiang in just a few months, and also strengthened the defense of the southern border, and the emperor was so happy that he got up from the bed and sat in the main hall in the morning waiting for him.
After a discussion of meritorious deeds, the emperor wanted to set up a celebration banquet, but Gu Chen didn't want to spend too long in the palace, so he proposed to wait for Cheng Anhou and General Fang and others to return to set up a banquet together, so as not to waste the people and money.
Gu Chen was finally able to get out of the palace, he got on the horse and galloped directly towards the Gu family's old house, today he returned to Beijing, but he didn't see Qin Niang leading her daughter to pick him up, which made him faintly uneasy.
He thought that everyone saw him when he returned to the city today, and they should be waiting for him in the old mansion, because as soon as he returned to Beijing, he must first go back to the old mansion to meet the elders, and then accompany the elders to eat together, and Qin Niang will naturally lead the children back to the old mansion.
Thinking like this, he quickened his horse and galloped all the way.
"The second son is back, the second son is back." The porter, who had been guarding outside the door, saw Gu Chen coming back from a distance at this moment, and hurriedly asked people to go in to report.
Gu Chen got off the horse, raised his hand and threw the horsewhip to the porter, and strode towards the house, his eyes looked around from time to time as he walked, and he asked, "Has the second young lady come back?" ”
The little girl shook his head and hesitated: "No, second son, why don't you go in first to meet the old lady?" Everyone is waiting for you. ”
Gu Chen paused, and his intuition told him that his uneasiness didn't seem to be unreasonable, and he looked at the little guy calmly: "Are you hiding something from me?" ”
Where does that little guy dare to talk nonsense? He could only push the pot to Old Man Gu and let him go to Old Man Gu if he had any questions, he was a little guy and didn't know anything about the master's affairs.
Gu Chen didn't embarrass him, and strode towards the main courtyard.
Old Man Gu, Gu Chen's parents, aunts, and a large number of nephews were all crowded in the main courtyard, and when they saw him coming back one by one, they immediately surrounded him.
Gu Chen's mother looked him back and forth several times, and after making sure that he was not missing arms or legs, she breathed a sigh of relief: "It's just a little darker, it's okay." ”
"Sister-in-law, look at what you said." Second Mrs. Gu glanced at the eldest lady with tears and laughter, and said.
Compared with the formlessness of these women and children, those men can hold it up a lot, but they also want to say a few words to Gu Chen, but they have been surrounded by these women and children, making them sit there, so embarrassed.
So, the eldest man of the Gu family had to cough twice to attract everyone's attention.
Only then did everyone come back to their senses and let Gu Chen into the hall.
After Gu Chen finished saluting the elders, his eyes scanned the inside and outside of the hall again, but he still didn't see Qin Niang and Ying'er, he frowned and looked at Old Man Gu.
Old Man Gu had already read his doubts from the moment he entered the door, and read his doubts from his searching eyes, and without waiting for him to ask a question, he unceremoniously gave him a heavy blow: "The Yang family has put you on vacation, this is a letter of resignation, you can read it yourself." ”
As he spoke, Old Man Gu picked up the letter of resignation on the table and handed it to him.
Gu Chen's face was full of disbelief, he snatched the letter of resignation, glanced at it, and then muttered in disbelief again: "Impossible!" It's impossible! Why? ”
Old man Gu didn't know whether to sympathize with him or scold him, Qin Niang came over that day and put down a letter of resignation and left, and then moved back to the Yang family directly, she still hasn't announced that she took a leave of absence from Gu Chen, thinking that it was for their Gu family to save face.
Although, in all dynasties, no one dares to do such a thing except for the princess, and no woman can do such a thing, in this eastern country where men are inferior to women, it is impossible for a woman to want to divorce her husband.
But Qin Niang herself is also very capable, she has a lot of weight in front of the emperor and the prince, if she has to tear her face with the Gu family and make a big fuss, the emperor may not know who is on the side.
Besides, he didn't know what happened to her when she went to the south, but if he could make a woman who was willing to go to the south to find him alone for him regardless of the danger, he must have lost most of his own money.
Thinking about it like this, Old Man Gu didn't forcibly keep her, let alone ask her why, because he knew that the woman was a well-informed person, and the reason why she didn't make a fuss about it was already to save face for the Gu family, no matter whether Gu Chen was reasonable or not, as soon as Hugh Fu made a fuss, the Gu family would become the laughing stock of the capital.
"You are really capable, since the founding of the dynasty, there have been few princesses who have ever divorced their husbands, and you were able to be the first man to be divorced, which is really a shame for the Gu family!" Old Man Gu said hated that iron could not be made of steel.
Gu Chen looked at him blankly, and his mind repeatedly recalled what he had done in the south in the past few months, and why Qin Niang wanted to leave her husband when he returned to Beijing.
He remembered that Qin Niang had said before that if one day, he betrayed her, then she would not hesitate to give him a divorce, he only laughed at her, but he didn't expect her to really be so decisive.
However, he didn't do anything to be sorry for her!
Apart from......
Suddenly, his brain was excited, he grabbed Old Man Gu's arm, and asked nervously, "Grandfather, has Qin'er been to the south?" ”
Old Man Gu was caught by him, he frowned, and snorted coldly: "Yes, it's not because you are missing, the news came back to Beijing, everyone was in a hurry, and the Yang family said that they were going to look for you, but I don't know why, as soon as she came back, she rewarded you with a letter of resignation, tell me, did you do anything unsightly in the south?" ”
Old man Gu is so angry, now he can't easily see his baby great-granddaughter, this is to blame for this unscrupulous grandson.
Thinking of this, Old Man Gu's face became even more stinky, he unceremoniously pulled his hand away, clicked his crutches and said, "Let me tell me, if my precious great-granddaughter can't come back, don't come back either." ”
As he spoke, he asked Gu Chen to be kicked out.
Gu Chen was still stunned until he stood outside the gate of the mansion, and he thought of a sentence back and forth in his mind, Qin Niang has been to the south, she has been to the south!
She had been to the South, and who had let her into the city? Why didn't anyone talk to him? What did she see?
Immediately, his pupils shrank, stepped on the horse and ran towards the Lin Mansion, in the southern army, only Lin Yao knew Qin Niang, Qin Niang went to the south, and that guy didn't tell him until now!
Very good, very good!
The people in the Lin Mansion said that Lin Yao went to the epidemic area and was treating the sick, and he had never returned to the house at all, Gu Chen thought, forget it, let him go for the time being, he just wanted to ask him what Qin Niang saw in the south.
However, it is okay for him to go directly to Yang's house to ask her face to face.
So, he hurried to the Yang Mansion again, but he didn't expect that the Yang Mansion was full of white strips, and the little guy guarding the door saw him and closed the door directly, without even looking at him.
Gu Chen's heart became even more uneasy.
When did this Yang Mansion hold a funeral? Who's gone?
Gu Chen's heart was full of uneasiness, he scratched his head, at this moment, he didn't have the temperament of the cold noble son at the beginning, and he didn't have half a bit of calm and calmness, Yang Mansion still hung filial piety, is his Qin'er okay at the moment?
At this time, a passer-by passed by, he jumped up and grabbed the man and asked, "Why is this Yang Mansion full of white silk, who is not there?" ”
The passer-by was frightened by his cruel eyes, but he still told him honestly: "Old Mrs. Yang had to be infected with the plague, and she didn't come back, so she left, I heard that she didn't even see the last of the eldest lady of the Yang family, it's really pitiful." ”
As soon as Gu Chen's hand was released, the whole person took several steps back.
He stood there dejectedly, buzzing in his head, Old Madam Yang is gone, Qin'er hasn't seen her for the last time, she couldn't catch up with the last time she saw the old lady because she went to the south to look for him, so she hates him in her heart at the moment!
Gu Chen clenched his fists, no, he couldn't let her misunderstand him and hate him, he wanted to go in and see her and explain it to him clearly.
