Ruoxue said again: "I have already asked Doctor Qi to go to Yang's house to have a look, and there will be definite news in the afternoon, and I will see what Doctor Qi has to say when the time comes." ”

Doctor Tong was not good at arguing with Ruoxue as a girl, so he prescribed a relatively mild prescription based on banlan root for Aunt Zhou to take to calm Ruoxue's heart.

At that time, a maid sent in a palm-sized box, "Third Miss, this is what Steward Deng sent to the second door, saying that it was something you wanted, and a Xu Pozi sent it to the gate of the courtyard, and the slave maid took it." She said.

"What is this?" Ruolan ran over, pulled Ruohong's clothes and looked up.

Mei Zhishu, the fourth young master, who was sitting on the side of the problem, also dropped the pen in his hand and ran over to read.

Ruohong was a little confused, she didn't remember what she asked to do! "Which one is Steward Deng?" She said.

Ruoxue said with a smile: "It's Deng Hu who makes building blocks, I only saw it a few days ago and forgot it!" ”

"It's him!" Ruohong also smiled, she reached out and took the box, she already knew what was inside.

"Dan Tang, clean up the table." She said.

"Yes."

Dan Tang responded, and Pomegranate cleaned up the paper, pencils, inkstones and other things on the table, put them on the shelf of Duobao Pavilion on the side, washed a handkerchief, and wiped the desktop twice.

"Aren't you studying?" Mei Zhishu said.

Ruohong smiled and said, "I'm giving you a holiday today." ”

"Okay!"

Mei Zhishu and Ruolan cheered.

Ruohong opened the small box, and there were three small dolls more than an inch tall standing inside, the dolls were made of log, without patent leather.

Ruolan opened her eyes wide and looked at the puppet in Ruohong's hand in surprise, "What a cute little person!" ”

"Give me a third sister." Mei Zhishu shouted.

"I also want a third sister." Ruolan also shouted.

Ruohong laughed when she heard the words of the two children.

Ruoxue also smiled and walked over from behind the long case, "I can't give you three sisters, if I give it to you, I won't have a third sister!" She said.

The Lianxin Dan orange next to her also laughed together.

Ruolan also laughed, she didn't know what everyone was laughing at.

Mei Zhishu was still a year older, and he knew that he and his sister had made a mistake and said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly said: "I don't want the third sister, I want that villain." ”

"I don't want the third sister to ...... either" Ruolan followed and said, halfway through the conversation, she realized that something was wrong, "I want the people in the hands of the third sister." She said.

Ruoxue and Ruohong were amused by the two children again.

Ruohong smiled and told Dan Tang to move the box of building blocks out, Dan Tang agreed, turned around and went to the house where Ruo Hong lived.

"Let's have a fun time with the two of you in a moment." Ruohong walked to the table, sat down on the round stool, and placed the three dolls on the table.

Ruolan and Mei Zhishu stood beside her, each took a doll and looked at it in a circle a few times.

Ruohong looked at the two children and said, "You two can play here, but you can't take it away." ”

Ruohong only has a box of building blocks, and she doesn't know which child to give it to, so she just lets them play here.

"What's fun?" Mei Zhishu asked.

Ruoxue didn't want to give those building blocks to the children in the house to play with, she was waiting for the five hundred and forty boxes of matching dolls to be sent to the capital to sell.

The two children didn't know what to play with them, so they looked at Ruohong with wide eyes, then at Ruoxue standing next to them, and then at the puppet in their hands, and then stared at the door and waited for Dan Tang to come back.

After a while, Dan Tachibana came back with the small box and placed it on the table.

Meow twice, the white cat jumped over the threshold and ran in, waging its long tail and running straight to Ruoxue's feet, tilting its little head to rub on Ruoxue's upper.

Ruoxue put down the tea bowl in her hand, bent down and reached out to pick up the white cat.

Ruolan looked at the kitten, and wanted to go over to touch and hug it, but she wanted to see what was inside the small box? Forget it, the kitten has been touched many times before, and sometimes it will be petted and hugged in the future.

Ruohong opened the box and poured the bricks on the table.

"What is this?"

"There are doors and windows......

Mei Zhishu and Ruolan picked it up one by one and looked at it, curious about how to play with this small wooden block.

"Big sister, how are you going to play this?"

"Ask your third sister to go, she knows how to play." Ruoxue walked behind Ruolan with the white cat in her arms and stopped, her subordinates gently stroked the cat's head, and smiled as Ruohong showed them how to play with the blocks.

"This is called building blocks, and you can build a beautiful little house."

Ruohong took an uncarved piece and put it on the table, and took four carved pieces with doors and windows, and put them together with that one, looking like a square box without a lid.

Mei Zhishu and Ruolan also learned from Ruohong to build a square box, and also covered it with a piece to form a square box.

Ruohong smiled and said, "That's how it works." ”

"Isn't that like a small house?" Mei Zhishu was the first to be put together into a square box.

"Isn't there a triangle here!"

Ruohong said and took two small triangular wooden blocks, and two square roofs that were put together to form a triangle, and the squares just put together to form a beautiful little house.

Ruohong carefully opened the small door above, held the little doll in one hand, and said, "Ruolan is going home." As he spoke, he slowly sent the puppet into the house.

Ruolan looked at the small house with wide eyes, and the puppets in the house, and stuffed the square box in her hand to Ruohong, "Third sister, this is for you, I want this small house." She said.

"Okay, here you go." Ruohong smiled and pushed the small house to Ruolan's side, took her square box and opened it.

Mei Zhishu didn't grab the small house with Ruolan, he found two triangular building blocks by himself and added a roof to his building block box, "I also have a small house." He shouted.

Ruohong smiled and took a few more building blocks, and in a few clicks she put together a three-door house, and then, in front of the surprised eyes of the two children, she demolished the house, and after a while, she put together a two-story house.

In the afternoon, news came that the old doctor Qi had gone to the Yang family to see it, and according to his diagnosis, several members of the Yang family had a certain contagious asthma, which was caused by dampness and heat.

Ruohong asked Guanfangyuan to make needlework maids, and made some masks out of cotton yarn, and first gave them to the maids in Mei Zhiyuan's yard, mainly for the maids who served Mei Zhiyuan closely, so as to avoid cross-infection.

Ruoxue asked people to send two jars of balsamic vinegar to Zhuxuan, and asked the maids and servants in the courtyard to fumigate the house with vinegar.

The houses of the people living in the house are all fumigated with vinegar, sterilized and disinfected, and preventive measures are taken.

On this day, Mei Zhiyuan said that he was unwell, and stayed in his yard for a day, and in the evening, he began to have a fever, accompanied by cough.

Soon Ruoxue knew that Mei Zhiyuan was sick.

Ruoxue asked Dr. Xiao Qi to treat Mei Zhiyuan, and told Zhuxuan's people not to go out and walk around in the yard, and let the kitchen bring them food.

"Miss, Miss, Miss......"

A little maid ran into the yard, and Lianxin was about to stop her yelling, when Ruoxue came out of the house, "What's wrong?" She said.

"Second wife...... The second wife wants to enter Zhuxuan, but she can't stop it. The little maid said.

Ruohong came out of the house, "Do you want to go and see?" She said.

Ruoxue walked outside, and Ruohong also caught up with her and followed her out of Guanfangyuan.

"If you can't stop her, let her wrap a few more layers of scarves before going in." Ruohong said.

"Hmm."

Lianxin Danju held Ruoxue and Ruohong's Shu brocade cloaks and ran to catch up, and there were a few maids with lanterns behind them chasing them out.

Lian Xin and Dan Tang put their cloaks on the two young ladies, tied the ribbons, took the lantern from the little maid's hand, and illuminated the road in front of them.

Outside Zhuxuan, the second wife Yang called the door for a long time, and she didn't open it inside, so she asked the servant who came with her to go up and bang on the door, and threatened the maids in the yard with words, and sold them all to Hualou if she didn't open the door.

The maids and servants in the courtyard were still adhering to the orders of the eldest lady at first, but later the Yang family said that they would sell them to the flower building, and they were a little scared, thinking about whether to open the door and let the Yang family in.

"The dead girl is fat! Aren't you afraid that your wife will sell you all to the land of fireworks? Yunqiu, the big girl beside the Yang family, shouted loudly.

Another maid named Caiping said: "Don't forget the roots, you are all people in the second room, if the wife wants to sell you, the eldest lady can't protect you." ”

"It's just ......"

"Hurry up and open the door."

"Open the door and invite the second wife in." Ruoxue said loudly.

Several maids and servants who were shouting for Zhenghuan saw Ruoxue coming from there, they all closed their mouths and stopped shouting, and they didn't knock on Zhuxuan's door anymore, and they all retreated behind Yang.

"You're just in time, tell the dead man inside to open the door." Yang raised his hand and pointed to the door, looked at Ruoxue and said.

"Okay." Ruoxue walked closer and shouted to the people in the courtyard: "Liuqin, open the door and invite the second wife to come in." As she spoke, she deliberately pulled Ruohong back two steps, as if she was dodging something.

With a creak, the door opened inside.

Liu Qin wore a white mask on her face, and only two beautiful big eyes were exposed.

"You...... What are you doing? Yang was frightened by Liu Qin's appearance, and took three steps back before he stood still.

The maid behind her also took a few steps back in fright.

Liu Qin took two steps to the side and said sullenly, "Madame, please come in." ”

Yang hesitated for a moment, then raised his feet and walked towards the courtyard gate.

"Does the second aunt know how many people in the Yang family are sick?" Ruoxue looked at Yang's back and asked.

Yang stood still, turned around and looked at Ruoxue, "What do you mean?" She said.

"Big brother went to Cousin Yang's house yesterday to visit the patient, right? Big brother is sick today. Does the second aunt know how many people in the Yang family are sick? Fourteen sick people. Ruoxue said.

Except for Uncle Yang, who was not sick, the other masters all had symptoms of fever and cough to varying degrees, and several subordinates were allowed to go home to recuperate because they were sick.

There were also a few sick maids, because they had no family, and they were all sent to villages outside the city.

"The second aunt is not afraid of being sick, so let's go in." Ruoxue said.

Yang hesitated, "That's your eldest brother, why don't you go in and see him?" She said.

Ruoxue pursed her lips and said, "The eldest brother takes good care of us younger brothers and sisters, and he can't bear to see us sick, and he doesn't want to give us the illness, so he must understand what we mean by not going to see him." ”

At this time, Mei Zhiyuan's voice came from the courtyard, "None of you should come in, I'm fine, just a little cough, the doctor has already prescribed medicine, and I'll go to ask A-Niang for peace in two days." He said.

Yang Shi looked at the door of Zhuxuan, and then looked at Liu Qin who was standing there next to her, especially the white mask on her face was particularly dazzling, like the filial piety clothes that the eldest master Mei Jiye wore when he died, "What are you wearing?" How unlucky it is to be white! I quickly took it off. She said.

Ruohong walked out from behind Ruoxue and said, "That's to prevent the eldest brother from infecting them with the disease, so she let her wear it." ”

Yang turned to look at Ruohong, and said in a sharp tone: "She is a subordinate, wearing that look, what's the matter with serving Zhiyuan in front of Zhiyuan, isn't this disgusting our Zhiyuan?!" A maid actually dares to dislike her master, and she keeps it! It's better to sell it to people. ”

"They are also human beings, and they can do things better if they protect themselves. Could it be that the second aunt wants ten or eight patients to come out of the eldest brother's yard? Who will take care of the big brother in that way. Ruohong hurriedly said.

Yang's mouth moved, and she had nothing to say for a while, she looked at Liuqin again, and saw that she was bowing her head submissively, looking like an angry little daughter-in-law, and she jumped up angrily, "Just throw that filthy thing aside for me, just find a handkerchief and put it on." She said.

"The veil is too thin to stop the virus." Ruoxue said.

Mei Zhiyuan walked out and stood at the gate of Zhuxuan, wearing a white cotton gauze mask on his face, came out and bowed to Yang, and said: "Auntie, please go back, I don't have anything to do here, you don't have to bother, I'll kowtow to you when I'm ready." The voice was muffled.

Yang saw that Mei Zhishu was also wearing that look, and the roots of his teeth itched with hatred, and he glanced at Ruoxue Ruohong unkindly, turned his head and gave Liu Qin a few cruel words, and then took her people away.

Ruoxue saw Yang go away, then turned to look at Mei Zhiyuan and said, "I have wronged my eldest brother to stay in the courtyard for a few days these days." ”

"I know greatly, big sister and third sister, please go back." Mei Zhiyuan said.

"Then big brother should rest early."

"Okay."

Ruoxue and Ruohong wore a few maids, turned around and went back to Guanfang Courtyard.

The next morning, the little maid from the outer courtyard came to the door of Guanfang Courtyard and shouted softly, "Is Sister Lianxin here?" ”

A maid in an apricot yellow dress came out of the courtyard and asked, "What do you want to find Lianxin?" ”

"Someone sent a letter to the eldest lady, and I sent it to Sister Lianxin."

"Give it to me, I'll bring her in."

"I also asked Sister Qinghe to call Sister Lianxin, and Mother Lu said that she wanted me to hand it over to Sister Lianxin." The little maid insisted on seeing Lianxin before she took out the letter.
