Chapter 41: The Girl's Thoughts and the Post House Junior Second
Shogunate.
After eating early in the morning, Mu Tongtong ran to the east wing and asked Mu Chen to take her out.
Half a month has passed since I saw Su Jiuling in a bloodstained white robe that day, although Duan Wang Ye has sent someone over to deliver the news that Su Jiuling is safe and sound to her, but how can a woman who loves others be relieved of the pain of lovesickness in her heart just by hearing the news of the other party's safety?
No, she pushed the door open without even knocking on the door, and shouted: "Big brother and sister-in-law, it's me Tongtong!" ”
Muchen came out of the inner room and said with a smile: "You came to me early in the morning, and you came to find your sister-in-law?" ”
Mu Tongtong smiled and said, "I'm here to find my eldest brother and sister-in-law." What about my sister-in-law? ”
A wicked smile flashed in Mu Chen's eyes, and he said, "Your sister-in-law is changing clothes in the room!" ”
When Mu Tongtong heard this, his face turned red, and then he lowered his head and secretly looked at Mu Chen.
Bian Juman, who was tidying up the messy clothes in the room, her face flushed with shame when she heard the boundless words that came out of Mu Chen's mouth, and she couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground now, and never go out to meet people again.
Bian Juman sat in front of the dresser, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and began to quickly tidy up her messy hair, she was afraid that she would stay in the room for too long, and the words that Mu Chen said that caused reverie made Mu Tongtong think more.
In fact, Mu Tongtong did want to go in that direction, and in fact, Mu Chen and Bian Juman were indeed doing that thing, but they were disturbed halfway.
This trick to cover up is estimated to be able to only deceive Bian Juman alone, so as to seek psychological comfort.
Mu Tongtong asked at this time: "Brother, why doesn't Brother Su come to our house now?" ”
Mu Chen sat down, picked up the cup, took a sip, and said, "Jiuling has a lot of things to do now, so naturally he can't be idle all day long. ”
Mu Tongtong also sat down, pursed his lips, and prayed again: "Brother, on weekdays, Brother Su comes to the mansion to look for you, and today you will go to the Su Mansion to find Brother Su." ”
Mu Chen said without thinking: "Not today, I'm going to go boating with your sister-in-law on the lake later, another day!" ”
Mu Tongtong's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Then can you also take Tongtong with you, Tongtong will definitely be very well-behaved, and will never do anything that makes the eldest brother and sister-in-law unhappy, big brother, please!" ”
"No, this is a happy time for me and your sister-in-law, how can I take you there? It's an eyesore! Muchen said disgustedly.
Mu Tongtong smiled again and made a suggestion: "Then just take Tongtong outside, big brother and sister-in-law, you go boating and swimming in the lake to your heart's content, Tongtong is not an eyesore in front of the eldest brother, Tongtong is going to do something else, how about it?" ”
"You're a girl walking around outside, what if you meet a bad guy? No way! Mu Chen refused again.
"Then I'll just take Muyang out with me!"
"Muyang is going out hunting with his father today, if you want to go out, go with them, with your father by your side, you can also protect your safety."
Mu Tongtong's temper came up: "I don't want to go hunting, that's what men do, I just want to go out for a walk, stay in the house all day, I'm almost bored." ”
At this time, Bian Juman walked out: "Ah Chen, if Tongtong wants to go out with us, let her go." ”
Mu Chen said: "She wants to go out with us, she wants to go out alone." He said, glancing at her.
Mu Tongtong lowered his head weakly, and then said loudly: "Why not?" ”
Mu Chen looked at Bian Juman's pleading eyes, sighed, and compromised: "Bring a few maids and subordinates." ”
When Mu Tongtong heard this, she cheered happily, she hurriedly ran to Bian Juman, hugged her neck tightly, and turned in a circle on the ground, while Bian Juman was dizzy by her, but she had a happy smile on her face.
Mu Tongtong happily left the east wing, turned around and went to his boudoir, and asked the maid to bring her the new clothes she had just made, and asked the maid to comb her hair and dress up, and asked the maid to put on makeup for her......
Usually only one maid is needed to do these things, but today, there are three maids in battle, just because they can dress up the master as soon as possible without delaying the master's trip.
During the whole process of dressing up, Mu Tongtong urged "Hurry!" more than once! Fast! Fast! "The maids are very busy.
The morning of the second day of Su Jiuling's departure, that is, the morning when Mu Tongtong went out.
Inn.
"It is expected to arrive in Yanzhou this evening." Nangong Yu said, "We came out in a hurry this time, and we didn't bring anything to change the toiletries, in my opinion, we still need to purchase some." ”
Su Jiuling said: "Now that the plague has occurred, what the people need most is medicinal materials. ”
Nangong Yu said: "We still don't know what type of plague it is, it's not easy to use medicine, even if you bring it over, in case it won't be used, isn't it a waste?" ”
"Let's take some with them for those who haven't contracted the disease first, and see if they can help prevent it. As for those who have already contracted the disease, they can only make a decision after that. ”
At this time, the little second-hand was holding a tray and was coming to Su Jiuling's table, and when he heard the word plague, his whole face changed: "Aren't the two sons going to Lijiazhuang?" ”
Su Jiuling and Nangong Yu looked up at Xiao Er, and they both nodded at the same time.
After Xiao Er put down the tray, he hurriedly persuaded: "The two sons are from other places, now there is a plague in the entire Lijiazhuang, half of the people in the village are infected, the sick are sick, the dead are dead, as long as the people who have entered Lijiazhuang are infected, our place is less than two hundred miles away from Yanzhou, this day is passing, people are panicking all day long, even if one day, the plague suddenly comes to us." ”
"Little Er, have you ever heard of the symptoms of the patients?" Su Jiuling asked.
Although Nangong Yu received the news from Yanzhou, the letter did not explain the characteristics of the infected person, so he asked so.
Xiao Er said heavily: "I heard that this disease was first contracted by a man surnamed Li, and then his wife also suffered from the same symptoms one after another. Not long after the husband and wife fell ill together, the elderly and children in the family began to show the same symptoms, and at this time, the couple's condition began to become more and more serious. Later, the doctor treated the old man and the child, saying that it was white tiger disease, and left after prescribing medicine to them, who knows, the disease became more and more serious, and within a few days, the old man and child also passed away one after another. ”
Su Jiuling and Nangong Yu looked serious, Nangong Yu looked at Su Jiuling and said: "White Tiger Disease, hot and thirsty, scorched lips, red cheeks, delicate red cheeks......"
Xiao Er said again: "It's not, listen to the doctor, the old man and child have been shouting thirsty and thirsty, drinking non-stop, when he rushed to the person, the old man and child are lying on the bed, covered with a thick quilt, shouting hot in their mouths, but they still don't want to take the quilt off." ”
Xiao Er looked at the serious faces of the two again, and said, "Later, there were several more similar cases in the village, but the symptoms seemed to be a little more than the previous four; The sick person began to babble nonsense again, drowsy in thought, his hands were colder than his elbows, and his feet were colder than his knees, which was really strange! ”
"The two sons still don't want to go, that village is relatively closed, generally no one goes in, and no one comes out, even if there is a plague, it will suffocate there, and it can't be transmitted to us."
Nangong Yu smiled: "You little second is really strange, just now I said that people are panicking all day long, afraid of spreading here, why are you not afraid?" ”
Xiao Er smiled: "I'm not afraid that outsiders will enter the village without knowing the situation, and then bring the plague outside, since no one has entered the village, the plague will naturally not come out." ”
Nangong Yu looked at him and smiled, and said in his heart: This little second is a smart person, but he has used it in a crooked place, and he is also a despicable villain, who doesn't care about the life and death of others.
Hongyao, who was sitting on the side, glared at Xiao Er fiercely.
"Every guest officer who eats wine and stays in the inn, you will persuade him?" Nangong Yu sneered.
Xiao Er didn't know whether he couldn't understand or pretended to be confused, he smiled: "I'm also for his good, for everyone's good, but some people will listen to me, and some people won't." ”
"That's why you can't live in fear." Nangong Yu sarcastically said, but Jun kept having a comfortable smile on his face.
Xiao Er scratched his head embarrassedly, smirked, and said mysteriously: "The prefect has ordered that no one is allowed to step there, but the little one has been timid since he was a child, and he doesn't dare to completely believe in anything, who can guarantee that there is no one who is not afraid of the prefect!" ”
Su Jiuling's hand in the vegetable was stunned, and his eyes dimmed, Nangong Yu was even more surprised, stood up directly from the chair, and said in surprise: "So, the prefect has already given up the lives of those villagers?" Regardless of the lives of those people? ”
Xiao Er heard Nangong Yu's loud protest, and immediately panicked, and said: "This son, you are quieter, quieter, if people hear that this sentence is said from the mouth of a child, the little life will not be guaranteed." ”
Hongyao was so angry that she paced to Xiao Er, her hands on her hips, and she glared at him angrily, she was really angry with this timid as a mouse, and greedy for life and afraid of death, she couldn't wait to slap him now to relieve her anger.
Su Jiuling put down his chopsticks and said lightly: "Let's go!" ”
After Nangong Yu threw the silver on the table, he hurriedly chased after Su Jiuling.
Hongyao looked at Su Jiuling, who had never seen such a serious person, and was a little scared, she subconsciously slowed down her pace and followed behind Su Jiuling, Nangong Yu quickly caught up with him and said: "This prefect is afraid that his head will be lost, and he is so shameless that he abandons his own people, just wants to be happy, and wants to block the news, however, this move of the prefect is estimated to have been recognized by many people, after all, it is to protect himself under the guise of being good for everyone, I am afraid this has become the default rule in everyone's heart." ”
