Early the next morning, everyone in the third room of the Xie family went their separate ways and went to work.

The brothers Xie Xianzhi and Xie Jinzhi did what they said yesterday in the second room, and took the seven or eight little servants in the third room, as well as the ten male servants sent by the Song family in the second room, adding up to almost twenty people, and set off to Zhushan Academy together. They also brought their luggage, food, medicinal herbs, firewood, and other items, and if the weather was bad, they were likely to stay overnight in the academy for the time being, and would not be able to return home every day.

Xie Huizhi and the second master of the Du family met in the sect room, brought all the materials that Xie Mulin had prepared for him in advance, and took a boat to the direction of the old house in Xie Jiawan. The former is expected to return today, but the latter may have to stay in Xiejiawan for a few days. Du Shi, the eldest lady of the sect, worriedly prepared everything for her brother, and sent two domestic servants to accompany her, so as to greet the tenants on the Xie Jiawan side, and also prepared enough supplies to prepare food and clothing for her mother's family during their medical practice in the old house.

Ma Luyao rested at home for one night, and after drinking two more medicines, he felt that his condition had been greatly reduced, so he rushed to ask Wen and Xie Mulin for help before Xie Huizhi's departure, and asked to go along.

The fact that he was getting better so quickly proved that he did not have influenza, or the so-called epidemic, which was more familiar in this era, was just a common cold. This not only surprised his wife and children, but also greatly relieved Xie Mulin. Ma Luyao has not been infected with the flu, which means that Xie Jiajiao will not be at risk of epidemic for the time being. The patients at the old house probably had the flu and some had the common cold, which was much better than Xie Mulin had expected.

But for Ma Lu Yao's request to go with him, Xie Mulin did not agree very much. His condition is fine, but he also needs to recuperate. Wouldn't it be bad if you were infected with the real flu? Xie Huizhi's trip, there is no more than him, and there is no less than him, but he doesn't have to let him go along.

However, Ma Luyao himself had something to say: "Who knows the situation of the old mansion better than me now?" I am also familiar with the officers and men who are temporarily living there to recuperate from their wounds, and I can speak. Doctor Du and the others are going to treat the epidemic patients, and they must have someone who can help them talk to persuade them to act according to the doctor's instructions. Moreover, before I came back, Jia Da was also a little unwell, and he looked like he was cold. These days, he has always been guarding the back house, preventing outsiders from entering the courtyard of the old lady and the second girl, and other than that, he rarely meets with the officers and soldiers. I did all the things that I talked about. In this way, Jia Da will still be sick, and he must have been sick by me. Now that I am well, but I have left him alone in the old house, if he has a case, how can I be happy? ”

Ma Luyao insisted on going, but his wife and children couldn't persuade him, so they all agreed to him with tears. Seeing this, Wen couldn't help but be relieved and told him to be extra careful about his body.

Xie Mulin was actually very opposed, but the party insisted, Wen nodded again, it was useless for her to stop again, so she had to say: "In this case, Uncle Ma will stay with the third brother, how to avoid being infected, the third brother has a charter, please remember it carefully, do it one by one, don't be lazy and slack." Also, since you didn't originally have an epidemic, just an ordinary cold and a minor illness, then after you go to the old mansion, don't stay with those officers and soldiers anymore, so as not to be sick. You go to the back house and live in Meilu. I've been living upstairs for the past few months, and the downstairs is usually used for homework or needlework and weaving. If Jia Da was not for the epidemic, the same arrangement would have been made. ”

Ma Lu Yao was taken aback: "How does this work?" Meilu is the courtyard of the second girl! ”

Xie Mulin snorted: "As long as the old lady doesn't move back, I won't live in Meilu anymore, what does it matter if I take out the ground floor of the small building for you to live in?" If the officers and soldiers in the old house want to treat the epidemic, it is indispensable to isolate some seriously ill people, and if the house is not enough, the sick people are crowded together, which is even more unhealthy. Uncle Ma, you don't need to squeeze with them, it's much more spacious in the backyard. I was worried that the old lady would complain, so I didn't say that I would ask you to live in the back building, but Meilu is not small, and it is enough to live for the two of you. When it is really not enough to make a house, you only need to keep the old lady's small building, and even Meilu can be given up. Anyway, the most important thing is that the patient can be cured, and try not to let any officers and soldiers die in our house. ”

Wen nodded again and again, and when Ma Lu Yao saw this, he also straightened his expression: "Mrs., the second girl, don't worry, the little one knows what to do!" ”

Then he quickly packed his luggage, took the medicine he was going to drink for the next two or three days, and accompanied Xie Huiyi to the same boat.

The new house suddenly fell silent. Not only are the male protagonists almost gone, but even half of the subordinates are missing. There are only a few dozen masters and servants left in the huge mansion, and it looks much more deserted than usual.

Mrs. Xie lives in the backyard and usually doesn't come out, she can't feel these things. Recently, she has been accompanied by the Liu family, and her grandchildren will go out for a few days, and she will not care. Wen still needs to wait diligently in front of her, and finish everything that needs to be done before quitting and taking care of his own housework.

Xie Mulin went back to his yard and took out the set of men's clothes he had made before.

She has been learning tailoring and learning to make men's clothing for more than half a month, in addition to doing it for her brothers to practice, she also made a set for herself in private, a simple and plain style, narrow sleeves, and a half-length hem.

She changed into this men's clothes, scattered her hair, combed a simple Daogu hair, looked at something that looked like a pill head, and only found a silk hairband of the same color as her clothes to fix the bun, and all the earrings and bracelets were removed, and even the shoes and socks were borrowed from the third brother Xie Huizhi. As soon as he was dressed up like this, he looked in front of the mirror, and he didn't apply the fat powder, just like a handsome little boy, and a little like the second brother Xie Jinzhi.

Li'er and Cuijiao were very surprised to see it, and said in a loud voice: "The girl is so handsome!" However, the former was a little worried: "Is the girl going to dress like this?" If the elders see it, I'm afraid it won't be a whole, right? ”

Xie Mulin smiled: "It's okay, I know it in my heart." ”

She got used to the movements, and quickly restored her very ladylike demeanor to the level of a woman, and then took an umbrella in her hand, and strode towards the second room.

The third room was deserted, and I didn't meet a few people along the way, but after entering the second room, I found that there were more girls and mothers-in-law who were dressed differently, and everyone showed a surprised expression, and some people couldn't help but laugh.

Xie Mulin didn't care, he went straight into the Song family's house, followed the appearance of his brothers, and bowed to her: "Grandson asks grandmother for peace, grandmother is healthy." ”

The Song family was still strange, didn't Xie Jinzhi already leave? How did you come back again? After looking at it, he was taken aback: "You are ...... Real sister?! ”

Xie Meijun, who was talking to the Song family, looked at Xie Mulin in surprise, got up with a smile, walked over, and grabbed her sleeve: "Look, who is this handsome little brother?" I don't recognize it! ”

"If you go back to my aunt, I'm your nephew." Xie Mulin smiled slyly, "My name is Xie Mulin, don't you recognize me?" ”
