With the first case of epidemic deaths, the subsequent development was almost out of control, and the next day there were seven or eight more people vomiting and diarrhea, and some of them were not in good health, and they went without surviving for two days.

At first, when such symptoms appeared, the refugees who did not understand thought that they had just eaten something bad, and then found that it was seriously bad, so they wanted to see a doctor, but where did these refugees get the money to see a doctor, so they had to 'get' some earthwork to eat, and then later, it was out of control.

With the change of the deceased, the entire capital began to panic, and the people of the big mansion strictly ordered the heirs of the family not to go out, and the county lord of Minghui, who appeared from time to time, was also grounded by the palace because of the epidemic, and it was difficult for Dong Yu to see him.

Countless porridge shacks that originally provided relief to refugees have been closed one after another, only for fear of being infected with the epidemic, and the whole capital is simply 'chaotic'.

"For the safety of the mansion, your porridge shed is also over, anyway, Lord Minghui can't get out of the mansion now, and no one is to blame for this situation now." The old lady spoke to Li Ronghua and Li Qiuyi.

Li Ronghua frowned slightly, although he knew that the epidemic broke out, and the old lady would definitely stop the porridge shed from continuing, but she didn't want this day to come so quickly, but in the end, it was also for the safety of the mansion, and no one wanted her family to accidentally get infected with the epidemic.

When Li Qiuyi heard this, her face was not good, and in the past few days, she has followed Li Ronghua to 'make' the porridge shed, and she has seen more and understood more.

Now the number of porridge sheds in the capital is not much, although the imperial court also sent rice to help, but in the end it is a drop in the bucket, and there are only a few who can eat, and now that the epidemic has broken out, there are fewer porridge sheds, and I don't know how many people will starve to death.

Without waiting for Li Ronghua to speak, Li Qiuyi couldn't help but speak quickly: "Grandmother, I want to continue to run a porridge shed." ”

The old lady's face instantly sank: "Nonsense, do you know how many people have died from the epidemic now, and I still don't know how to treat this epidemic, if something happens, do you want the entire Li Mansion to die with you?" ”

"But if our porridge shack is gone, many people will starve to death." Li Qiuyi couldn't help but speak quickly.

"What if there are many people starving to death, is it because others are starving to death, the people of our Li Mansion should be in danger, the matter of this porridge shed is so decided, whether you listen or not, this matter is over, you must not mention it again." When the old lady heard Li Qiuyi's words, she was instantly angry, and she didn't mean to say anything more.

"Grandmother is angry." Li Ronghua looked at Li Qiuyi and shook his head slightly, and finally stood up and spoke.

The old lady has softened her attitude towards Li Ronghua a lot since she saw that the lord of Minghui County treated Li Ronghua differently, although it is not really good, but her face is much better than before, at least she will not directly ignore Li Ronghua on her face, just like now, Li Ronghua opened her mouth, although the old lady was still angry, she still sat and relaxed.

Li Ronghua looked at Li Qiuyi at this time: "Fifth sister, grandmother is right, in the end, our own family is important, and this porridge shed will continue to be run......"

Without waiting for Li Ronghua to finish speaking, Li Qiuyi's face changed instantly, no matter what Li Ronghua said in the past, he didn't want to follow it, no matter whether it was good or bad, Li Qiuyi, who didn't have any second sentence, looked ugly at Li Ronghua's face for the first time: "Ninth sister, how can you talk like that, although you are always cold and indifferent to people on weekdays, but I always think that you are good and kind-hearted, and now when so many refugees need food and need our help, my grandmother said that I don't want to run a porridge shed, you don't help talk, He even persuaded me. ”

"Ninth sister, I really misjudged you!"

When Shi Niang and Ba Niang on the side saw Li Qiuyi talking to Li Ronghua like this, they instantly became excited: "Where can the 'girl' in the outer room be noble, it's just that you treat others as a treasure, now you are dumbfounded." ”

Eleven Niang is different from Shi Niang and Eight Niang, as if she was extremely nervous, and finally said timidly: "Fifth sister, don't be angry, run a porridge shed, the ninth sister has to go to the porridge shed every day, so dangerous, I can't say that the ninth sister ......"

"Ninth sister, are you afraid that you will be infected first and afraid of death, so you are not willing to continue to run a porridge shed? Just give up so many poor refugees? ”

Li Qiuyi listened to Shi Niang's words, and the whole person instantly became even more angry.

The eldest lady who was sitting in the hall who usually had a very bad attitude towards Li Ronghua listened to this, and looked at Li Ronghua, her eyes changed slightly.

"Jiuniang is afraid that something is wrong with the epidemic, Wu Niang, I am too conniving with you on weekdays, letting you make such nonsense, your ninth sister is so persuading you where is wrong, this porridge shed should not be done in the first place, I can allow you to do it at the beginning, it is also for the sake of your well-behaved, now it is good, let you contradict me like this!"

Between a few words, it was directly set Li Ronghua's character 'sex', greedy for life and afraid of death, just want to live or die, if it was an ordinary girl, I am afraid that it would be uncomfortable at this time, and I couldn't help but erupt, but Li Ronghua was still plain, as if the person who was said was not himself, and only continued to speak after the old lady spoke: "Grandmother, stop being angry, the fifth sister just cares too much about the emotions of the county lord of Minghui and those poor refugees to open her mouth like this." ”

"Don't grandmother's emotions need to be cared about, how can you say that you have a temper and a temper, where is this filial piety ethics?" The third lady grabbed the gap but directly attacked Li Qiuyi, her 'daughter' has not been as good as Li Qiuyi in the mansion on weekdays, which will make her proud.

As soon as Li Ronghua heard this, her brows furrowed instantly, she didn't care what others said about her, it didn't mean that she was willing to be told by others: "The third aunt is afraid that she has been in the mansion for too long and doesn't know the situation outside, so she said such a thing, and the fifth sister is because she cares about her grandmother's emotions, so the matter of this porridge shed is blocked, so it is even more 'excited'." ”

The old lady wanted to continue speaking angrily, but after listening to Li Ronghua's second half of the sentence, she couldn't help but stop, obviously wanting to see what Li Ronghua would say.

When the third lady heard Li Ronghua's words, she jumped to her feet angrily, obviously Li Ronghua was saying that she had a short knowledge, but she couldn't refute anything, but in the end she spoke directly: "In the end, it is the 'girl' in the outer room, if you have no knowledge, people have already scolded you for being greedy for life and afraid of death, you are still holding it, and I still say a few words for you, and I can't help Adou." ”

Li Ronghua glanced at the third lady lightly, but looked at the old lady: "Grandmother, you can wonder why Ronghua said that the fifth sister is to discuss your emotions again, grandmother, so the matter of this porridge shed is blocked, so it is even more 'excited'." ”

"What does this have to do with my emotions?"

"The fifth sister knows that grandmother values the development of her uncle the most on weekdays, whether our Li Mansion can prosper day by day, and if the matter in front of her is really put aside, I am afraid it will affect the future of our Li Mansion." Li Ronghua spoke obediently.

The old lady frowned: "What does the continuation of the porridge shed have to do with whether the Li Mansion is thriving or not?" ”

"These days, I have been outside with my fifth sister, and I have come into contact with Lord Minghui, and I found that the most important thing in this relationship between people is a reputation." Li Ronghua said and raised his head: "If you have a good reputation, even if there is a little bad thing, others will think about a good place because of a good reputation." ”

"And those with a bad reputation, even if they are good, people will think in a bad direction, and even put an end to the contact of noble people."

"I naturally know that this reputation affects me well, but what does this have to do with the current affairs of our Li Mansion?" The eldest lady didn't know what to think, her expression moved, and she actually cooperated with the opening.

"Naturally, it is related, where does the reputation of a mansion come from, and naturally insists on it when everyone chooses to give up a thing, in this way, it shows a high style." Li Ronghua said lightly: "Such opportunities are rare in normal times, and once you get it, it is absolutely different whether you will be promoted or improve the status of the Li Mansion in the future. ”

When the old lady heard this, her expression couldn't help but change a little.

Li Ronghua saw the change in the old lady's look, and added a little fire to boil: "Now this porridge shed is what the county lord of Minghui wants to do but can't do, this porridge shed is what the county lord of Minghui wants to look at but doesn't look at, we have done it, we have persisted, and the county lord of Minghui will inherit the love of the fifth sister." ”

"At the same time, looking at the Li Mansion from the outside, at this moment, there is still a porridge shed, not to mention the reputation of the people, and the outside also looks high, and now the saint knows when the time comes, and he will praise his uncle for governing the family, grandmother, you teach your son well."

The old lady was thoughtful, and only spoke after a while: "This porridge shed is indeed a good thing." ”

looked at Li Qiuyi as he spoke, and his eyes became softer: "Wu Niang, why don't you tell your grandmother if you have these thoughts in your heart?" ”

This will Li Qiuyi also calm down, hearing what Li Ronghua said, watching the old lady ease down and loosen her emotions, her intestines instantly regretted it, thinking of what she said before, I can't wait to find a 'hole' to get into, and in the face of the old lady's question, there is also an answer.

Li Ronghua glanced at Li Qiuyi, but spoke for Li Qiuyi: "Grandmother, the fifth sister is stupid when she sees the person she loves the most, these are all in her heart, she talks to me on weekdays, but she can't say it when it comes to things." ”

The old lady couldn't help but laugh when she heard this: "Forget it, you children are all good children, just continue to 'get' these things, grandmother doesn't care." ”

As these words began, the old lady was also tired, and let everyone disperse.

When leaving, the second lady, who rarely spoke on weekdays, looked at Li Ronghua who was leaving, and couldn't help but speak to her two 'daughters': "These five girls don't know where they come from, they can have a sister like Jiuniang, and they are maintained like this." ”

"Shouldn't Jiu Niang be blessed to have a good relationship with the 'girl', after all, Jiu Niang is a 'girl' in the outer room." Twelve Niang couldn't help but speak.

"People and things in this world are not good if they have a high status, they are powerful themselves, and there will be a time when they will fall when their status is high. Remember to make good friends in the future. ”
