Chapter 59: Expectation
"But, madam," in the room, Zhong Niang suddenly approached Chen Ge and said with a meaningful smile: "The prince is really interested in his wife now, slave look, the prince came back from outside in a hurry!" After living as a slave for so many years, it is rare for a man to care about his wife like this! ”
Chen Ge: "......"
Why did she inexplicably feel Zhong Niang's smile...... A bit obscene? Well, it's like the old bustard in the Qinglou who is in a hurry to sell his daughter......
"Yes, you don't know, the second dog in the back kitchen has secretly inquired with the slave and maid about many things that Mrs. Hui likes to eat, and every time the slave and maid go to get food, he has to secretly stuff a lot of food for the slave and maid! At first, the guy was very proud, and he didn't even want to talk to the slave! That's all because of the prince's attitude towards his wife, these people see it in their eyes! ”
Lan Yi also walked over, very embarrassed, after speaking, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly waved his hand, "Of course, the slave knows that he is doing this to bribe the slave and the maid, and wants the slave and the maid to say more good things about him in front of the lady, but they remember their previous attitude towards the lady The slave and the maid all remember, of course they will not accept his bribe!" ”
Chen Ge silently glanced at her plump figure recently, looked at the sky, and accepted the fact that she might have been betrayed by this girl a long time ago.
It's no wonder she thinks that the food she cooks in the back kitchen has become more and more palatable lately.
Zhong Niang suddenly moved closer to her again, and said with a hot look in her eyes: "Madam, the prince treats you like this, don't you feel it at all?" In this world, it is easy to find a man with two feet, but it is difficult to find a man who is so devoted to his wife! ”
She spoke earnestly, with an anxious expression, as if she was eager to pack her up and send her to the man's room tonight, where the raw rice would be cooked.
The corners of Chen Ge's mouth twitched slightly, and he said helplessly: "You guys, I am not completely unfamiliar with Junhou, I suddenly fell ill, and it is normal for him to care." ”
After all, they have experienced so many things together, who can be ruthless if they are not grass and trees, if it is Wei Yuan who is sick today, she will also be worried.
Zhong Niang suddenly looked at Chen Ge with a look of hatred, if she didn't remember that she was her wife, she couldn't wait to slap her forehead and wake her up.
"Ma'am, do you think this is just a matter of concern?! How could anyone leave all their work behind and rush back just because they only cared about others? How can anyone be angry because of her unscrupulous assertion just because she cares about others?! The prince almost tied you to his side and guarded you every step of the way! ”
Chen Ge: "......"
Zhong Niang was obviously in a hurry, and dared to say anything.
Chen Ge frowned slightly, and couldn't help but think of the eyes with a hint of fragility and helplessness when the man touched her cheek, and couldn't help but feel a trace of weird emotions in his heart, his face was a little hot, his eyes drooped slightly, and he didn't speak.
That man likes her?
When he was in Laiyang, he obviously still disliked her very much, and seemed to want her to disappear from his eyes immediately, although his attitude towards her has eased recently, but how can it suddenly become the kind of friendship between men and women?
The more Chen Ge thought about it, the more he felt that it was impossible.
What's more, Wei Yuan didn't say anything, they finished a scene by themselves, if they found out in the end that it was just self-inflicted, embarrassment was secondary, she and Wei Yuan were afraid that they didn't know how to get along.
This matter is a bit disturbing, and at the moment when there are a bunch of things at hand, it doesn't seem to be that important, Chen Ge simply left it behind and didn't waste time dwelling on it.
In the next few days, Wei Yuan really sent someone to guard outside her courtyard and locked her up.
Her fever had long since healed, and now there was nothing but a herpes in the place where the pox was grown, and she fainted that day, just because the body was too weak.
After all, it did die once with the departure of the original owner, and as Zhong Niang said, she hasn't had a few days of peace since she came here, and she didn't have time to recuperate this body, so she fainted because of a small fever.
Chen Ge had no choice but to comfort himself, so he should take this opportunity to recuperate his body.
What's more, she really hid her cowpox cultivation from Wei Yuan and Zhong Niang, and she was weak in this matter, so it was not good to protest too confidently.
However, on the tenth day of her recuperation in the room, no matter how Zhong Niang tried to dissuade her, she had to go out, because Steward Xu had passed the word that the distiller had been built, and she had to go over to check it.
She summoned the guards at the door and told them about her going-out, and the guards immediately said, "My subordinates understand," and walked out.
Chen Ge knew that he must have asked Wei Yuan.
In the past few days, although Ling Fang would bring Dr. Zhang to see her every day, and all kinds of decoction supplements were continuous, Wei Yuan never showed up.
Wei Yuan didn't come to see her, Chen Ge didn't care, but she was more sure that Zhong Niang and they must have thought wrong, Wei Yuan was like that, how did he care about her?
His eyes were a little out of control that day, maybe because she thought of his parents who died early, after all, on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, he seemed to have lost control of her for that reason.
Chen Ge felt that that man was indeed not easy, and at the same time completely discarded this matter to the back of his mind.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the guard replied to her, "The lord said that Madame can go out, but be sure to let her subordinates stay with you." ”
After a pause, he said: "The lord has been talking to the generals in the barracks about things until he has time to listen to his subordinates pass on him. ”
Chen Ge was slightly stunned, and couldn't help frowning slightly.
Although she has been recuperating in her room, because Zhang Jing comes to see her every day, she knows that although the epidemic in Changzhou is under control and has not spread, a large number of people die from the smallpox epidemic every day.
I don't know when many sensational rumors spread among the people, saying that Changzhou City is now a dead city, and the road is paved with corpses, that even the air in Changzhou City is full of poison, and if you take a puff, you will be infected with that terrible smallpox.
The people trapped in the city of Changzhou are in panic every day, and in just a few days, there have been three riots.
And the people around Changzhou are also extremely restless, and those who have the ability have run out, leaving some who are unwilling to leave or unable to leave, so they can only close the door and hide at home in a vain attempt to avoid the terrible plague ghost in this way, making the towns around Changzhou all lifeless, and a certain depressing and unsettling atmosphere is quietly spreading in this land.
It is said that the generals stationed in Changzhou did not dare to close their eyes to sleep every day, for fear that when their eyes were closed, the people would be restless again.
In this suffocating situation, Wei Yuan has also been anxious these days.
Not to mention, as a prince, he has to worry about far more than the epidemic in Changzhou.
The corners of Chen Ge's mouth twitched slightly, and said, "Then let's go now!" ”
Xu Youcai's workshop was also under the command of Wei Yuan, so it was near the military camp outside the city.
When Chen Ge went there, Xu Youcai was waiting there early with a group of craftsmen, beside him was a still that was completely built according to her design drawings, just a heater, at least two men tall and four men wide.
Chen Ge's eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over, gently caressing the smooth outer body of the still, and for a moment, she was in a trance, as if she had returned to the original world.
Aside from the quaint surroundings and the people, this appliance is exactly like the stills she has seen in modern times!
She didn't know what it was like for a while, and there was a trace of indescribable emotion.
Xu Youcai looked at her with a hesitant expression, although Mrs. was with a power fence, he couldn't see her expression clearly, but looking at her movements, he should be very satisfied, right?
It's just that he still doesn't know what help this appliance has for the epidemic in Changzhou!
Thinking of the increasingly tense situation recently, Xu Youcai's face couldn't help but sink slightly, and he became more and more suspicious in his heart - is this thing really useful for the epidemic in Changzhou?
After all, it was smallpox, which made countless emperors and generals of all dynasties at a loss, smallpox!
That's when it happened.
A young craftsman suddenly ran out, knelt down in front of Chen Ge with a pop, kept kowtowing, and cried with a handful of snot and tears: "Madam, please save the villain's mother!" The villain's mother is in Changzhou, and she is already sixty years old! The villain has always wanted to bring his mother to Jizhou to enjoy happiness this year, but he didn't expect that the terrible plague suddenly broke out in Changzhou!
Steward Xu said that you built this appliance to control the epidemic in Changzhou! The villain knows that you and Junhou are working hard for the epidemic in Changzhou, and the villain is useless, so he can only sleep day and night, do his best to do the task sent by his wife, and only hope to assist his wife and Junhou to rescue Changzhou as soon as possible! ”
