Chapter 224: Stupid Woman
In the face of the plague, especially the plague that can bring a large number of deaths, there is not much difference between humans and animals, and the instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm will overwhelm reason without exception, so that everyone chooses to stay away.
This is an eternal truth, of course, the premise is not to hold a lantern to talk about things, there is a plague that can kill people in the tricky village, this kind of thing quickly spread under the observation and inquiry of people with a heart, even as a soldier, when he gets a certain benefit, he will choose to reveal his tone a little, and no general or commander will have a good way to do this.
The news soon spread as quickly as a plague, regardless of whether it was a county seat or a village, or Chang'an City, where there were hundreds of thousands of survivors, people began to quickly pack up their things, as for where to go, maybe only they themselves know.
For the large number of people going out, even Li Er, who is the emperor, has no way to stop it, so he can only let it go, after all, he has the right to kill the guilty sinners, but he does not have the right to stop the people from surviving, and the heavy sigh does not know how many times it appeared from his mouth, but he still didn't think of any good way to solve the plague or prevent the people from leaving.
There was also panic in the palace, but under the full suppression of Empress Changsun, this made the entire palace quiet, of course, this quiet is only temporary, if the news of the plague into Chang'an comes out, then even Li Er will order the eldest grandson to move to another place with the family of the harem.
Li Er, as the emperor, has no intention of leaving, if he also chooses to leave the palace as an emperor, then the entire Chang'an City will soon become a dead city without any population, and fortunately, with his existence, the officials in Chang'an City, although they are already scratching their ears and cheeks, and even began to transfer their families, but they are still doing the work they should do, and they dare not have the slightest slack.
There was a mess in Jiafu, and the family members and maids all found Lin Ruyu and asked to leave Jiafu and go to their hometown or relatives' homes in other places, Lin Ruyu did not hesitate to give a positive answer, and also gave a very generous five taels of silver per person, as for the people who bought the Jia family as slaves, they could only choose to stay in the Jia family, because they couldn't go there without household registration, but they had another way, that is, to persuade Lin Ruyu to leave, so that they could follow Lin Ruyu, and left Chang'an City together.
"Madam, the plague spreading in Thorny Village has a high fatality rate, and it is said that even those who survive the plague will be covered with abscesses of various sizes, and the living people are not like people and ghosts, for the sake of the safety of you and the little master, let's go to live in other places for a while."
Lin Ruyu's personal maid is a pure girl named Chu Qing, twenty-eight years old, that is, sixteen years old, the same age as a flower, because she has been in Jia's house for a little longer, and she is already familiar with the temperament of Lin Ruyu and other masters, so she said this without any scruples.
It's just that the response to Chu Qing is a large-scale document given by Lin Ruyu, which has been signed, as long as Chu Qing signs and draws on it, this document can take effect, take this large-scale document to any county in Datang, find the county official, and you can get the local household registration.
Chu Qing, who didn't get any response from Lin Ruyu's mouth, bit her red lip and looked at Lin Ruyu's large-scale document on the table, she knew that this was an important choice in her life, once she chose to sign and draw, even if he regained his freedom, but this year she wanted to find another master who was as sympathetic as Lin Ruyu, it was even more difficult than ascending to the sky, but if she didn't choose to sign and draw, then it was very likely that she would suffer from the plague, and finally end up with a fragrance and death.
"Sign it, sign this good document and you will be able to live the life you want, you have been with me for a while, these ten taels of silver should be regarded as a reward for you to take care of me for so long."
Lin Ruyu didn't know where to find an ingot of ten taels of silver, and put it aside with the good paperwork.
"Madam, let's go together, God knows when this plague will reach Chang'an City, you are a good person, a good person should live a long life, and you still have a little young master to take care of, even if it is for the safety of the little young master, you should leave with me."
Chu Qing is still making the final persuasion, she really doesn't want to lose this very good job, although the ten taels of silver are already very tempting, but she clearly knows that if she can work by Lin Ruyu's side, it will be a very simple matter to find a good family to marry and have children.
In the Tang Dynasty, marrying a good family was the best choice for a woman in her life.
"My husband is still in charge of guarding outside the tricky village, how can I leave alone, you better go, I will wait for my husband to come back."
This is a woman, a woman in the Tang Dynasty, judging from Lin Ruyu's performance, she is even stupid, but she is such a woman, stupidly cute, stupidly beautiful, looking at future generations, who doesn't want to be able to find such a life partner who can share life and death with him.
Just when Chu Qing was carrying out the final persuasion, the nurse came to Lin Ruyu with Jia Lu in her arms.
The young Jia Lu was still immersed in his happy time, and his little brain couldn't tell why the faces of all the adults in front of him were full of worry, and he didn't understand why the usually lively courtyard was now very deserted.
The nurse put Jia Lu in Lin Ruyu's arms, and then did not leave, but stood behind Lin Ruyu, teasing Jia Lu who was playing in Lin Meiyu's arms from time to time.
"Nurse, if you also leave, the plague is likely to spread to Chang'an City."
"Madam, the old body is not going anywhere, the old body's child died when he was born, and now the little master is like the old body's biological child, unless she can leave with the old body, the old body will not go anywhere."
is another stupid woman, for the sake of other people's children, she directly puts herself in danger, and even shows a happy look.
When Lin Ruyu heard this, she smiled at the nurse, and did not speak, but looked out of the door again, there are many people who have come to say goodbye today, she is still waiting, she believes that there are definitely not only so many people who want to leave.
Lin Meiyu's figure suddenly appeared in Lin Meiyu's sight, and she was still holding a letter in her hand, not because it must have been the one Jia Yi wrote before.
"Sister, brother-in-law has a letter."
Hearing that it was Jia Yi's letter, Lin Ruyu, who was very calm just now, sat up from the chair suddenly, hugged Jia Lu in her arms, quickly greeted Lin Meiyu, and stretched out a hand to take the letter.
Seeing this, the nurse walked over quickly, hugged Jia Lu from Lin Meiyu's hands, hid aside and teased again.
After carefully reading the letter sent by Jia Yi, Lin Ruyu's heart completely calmed down, although Jia Yi's words were very long, but what really reassured Lin Ruyu was only the last sentence, that is: "Don't worry, with me, the plague can't spread." ”
The rest is a greeting, plus a proposal, a proposal for the Jia family's purge, since they can't stick to the Jia family's people at a critical moment, there is no need to stay, just take advantage of this opportunity to clear them out of the Jia Mansion.
After Lin Ruyu read Jia Yi's letter, she directly handed it to Lin Meiyu, who was standing aside with an expectant face.
Lin Meiyu also read Jia Yi's letter carefully, but after she finished reading it, she found that Jia Yi did not mention even a word to herself, she suddenly felt a burst of excitement, put the letter in her hand back into Lin Ruyu's hand, said to Lin Ruyu that her body was not very comfortable, and walked towards her own room, without any reason to believe what Jia Yi said.
Looking at the background of Lin Meiyu's departure, Lin Ruyu also wanted to help her own sister, but her ability was very limited, and she supported Lin Ruyu to compete for favor with a princess of the Tang Dynasty, which was completely beyond her ability, and she could only sigh helplessly for her own sister.
Lin Meiyu, who had just returned to the room and was sulking with Jia Yi, suddenly received another letter from Jia Yi, and took the letter overjoyed, and the first line of words in her eyes was: "Meiyu, I miss you." ”
It's only been two days since they were separated, and Jia Yi actually came with such a blatant confession, how could he not make Lin Meiyu's happy little face full of smiles.
After reading the following words, I realized that Jia Yi asked her to prepare a batch of alcohol and send it to Thorny Village, thinking that Jia Yi didn't know how long she would be stationed in Thorny Village, although the letter said that she should send someone to send him the alcohol, but right now, who would choose to go to Thorny Village, naturally, Lin Meiyu chose to go to Thorny Village in person to send this batch of alcohol into Jia Yi's hands, and also meet Jia Yi to relieve the pain of lovesickness.
Just do it when you think of it, and soon Lin Meiyu loaded a large cart of alcohol with the help of the family, and she set up the carriage and went to the tricky village, and she was a stupid woman who was desperate for love.
