Chapter 24: Victory over the Plague

"Awan, what's wrong with you? What the hell is going on? Why did you suddenly say you were leaving? Xuanyuan Chen saw that Wanliang was serious, and he panicked! He didn't know what was wrong with Ah Wan! A few days ago, he was fine when he left Liuyun Pavilion. When he came back last night, he felt that something was wrong with Awan, and thought that he was thinking too much, but it didn't seem that he was thinking too much.

"Nothing happened, I just suddenly don't want to marry you, I don't want to be a princess. I still want to live my old life. So, you let me go. Wan Liang said indiscriminately, and tears fell down uncontrollably.

"Awan, if you haven't decided to marry me, I can wait! I'll wait until you're willing to marry me. Don't say go, besides, the wooden house of the eldest lady's house has long been washed away by the flood, where are you going? If you go like this, how can I rest assured? Xuanyuan Chen believed Wanliang's words, thinking that Wanliang really hadn't thought about marrying him yet.

Wanliang couldn't make up a better excuse to leave, however, without a reason to convince Xuanyuan Chen, he would never let her leave, so she could only choose to say goodbye. Wanliang thought to herself, and didn't speak again.

"Awan, believe me, I will never force you to marry me. Don't say you're leaving, this is your home! Although you and I are not married, I have long been your only wife in my Xuanyuan Chen's life. My home is your home. Xuanyuan Chen saw that Wanliang stopped talking, thinking that she no longer insisted on leaving, and he was much more relieved, so he hugged Wanliang into his arms again.

Wan Liang was still silent.

"Awan, the victims have been saved. Yesterday, Dr. Qin had already found an effective cure for the plague, and today he can give medicine to the victims. Now that the flood problem has been solved, the plague will be completely solved when the plague is brought under control. When the time comes, you don't have to be so tired, and I can accompany you more. Xuanyuan Chen remembered this good news, originally returned to the Cloud Pavilion last night to tell her the good news, knowing that she cared about the victims.

"Oh, that's good." Wan Liang also thought of those victims at this time, and continued: "Then, Chen, we will go to Doctor Qin to get the prescription and get the medicine now, and then go to the porridge shed to boil it and distribute it to the victims." ”

"Awan, don't worry, we'll go after breakfast." Xuanyuan Chen said gently.

At this time, Wan Liang remembered that after such a fuss, she hadn't freshened up until she got up. So, quickly sit down and comb your hair.

Xuanyuan Chen also found out that Ah Wan hadn't freshened up yet. He hurriedly walked to the door to call Xiao Cui, but where did he see Xiao Cui's shadow. How does this little emerald serve his master! Of course, Xuanyuan Chen didn't know that Xiao Cui was squatting under a pear tree in the most corner of the Liuyun Pavilion Garden at this time, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that she was wronged in every way and cried so much.

Xuanyuan Chen, who didn't see Xiaocui, returned to Wanliang's room, took the wooden comb in Wanliang's hand, and personally combed her hair. The letter of the husband and wife is deep. The long-haired gentleman's heart, fortunately, don't forget it. Wanliang once saw her father curling her hair for Eniang, and Eniang was happy at that time. E-Niang once said, "Men only tie their hair for the women they love." Her father wore her hair because he loved her. "That means Xuanyuan Chen...... In fact, Xuanyuan Chen is as considerate to her as his father is to Eniang many times. Wanliang thought that Xuanyuan Chen would be a good husband and father like his father in the future. However, she was also destined not to have that blessing. Between him and her, there is a grudge between his father and his generation, which is a hurdle that Tao cannot cross. He and her are destined to be in love in this life......

In this way, the quarrel was settled in the morning. As Xuanyuan Chen said, after breakfast, everyone in Liuyun Pavilion, including Ah Niu, went to the porridge shed on the street. Because the prescription for treating the plague is already available, Wanliang doesn't have to worry about Ah Niu, who has not been in good health recently, being infected, so Ah Niu also came to the porridge shed to help this time. This time, Wan Liang said that he was going to leave Liuyun Pavilion, but to no avail, he was the most lost one. He wanted to leave Liuyun Pavilion with Ah Wan and his mother too much, and go back to the days when there was only his mother and sister Xiaowan and him in the cabin before. He can't see Xiaowan's sister and Xuanyuan Chen together, you and me, once they see each other, he will suffer in his heart once. Since he came to the porridge shed, he couldn't leave Liuyun Pavilion with Xiaowan's sister today, and Ah Niu, who had been silent in his own boredom, didn't notice that a pair of red and swollen eyes had been aiming at him intentionally or unintentionally, and from time to time he was looking at the new shoes he was wearing.

Xuanyuan Chen also came to the porridge shed with Wanliang today, because after a series of measures to repair the embankment and dredge, the flood problem has been completely solved. Now the main thing is to solve the plague problem. Now that there is a cure for the plague, I believe that this natural disaster will soon pass.

There is strength in numbers. After two hours of busyness, the medicine was finally distributed to all the victims. those infected with the plague shall be cured of the plague; If you are not infected with the plague, prevent the plague.

Doctor Qin's prescription for treating the plague is really effective. After distributing this medicine to the victims, no new victims of the plague were found the next day; A few days later, many plague victims who had been quarantined and waiting to die were pulled back from the death line. The four or five-year-old girl who cried that day and didn't let the official take away her mother really waited for her mother. It's a pity that her father was not so lucky, because the day after his father left, Doctor Qin researched the cure for the plague. Wanliang is not only happy for the little girl waiting for her mother, but also sad that she has lost her father forever. In fact, the little girl was able to wait for her mother this time, thanks to Wanliang. Because the victims who were pulled out to quarantine were all sick and dying, to put it bluntly, they were just pulled out and waiting for a breath. It's all because Wanliang saw the little girl among the victims and remembered her mother who was dragged away by the official. Wanliang insisted on giving medicine to those victims who were quarantined but still breathing, although Xuanyuan Chen was worried that Awan would be infected, but he couldn't resist the stubborn Awan, so he had to order his subordinates and follow her to feed the medicine to those who were sick and dying one by one. Unexpectedly, many people slowly got better because of this, and finally defeated the plague and survived.

Ten days later, the rampant plague had finally died down. Xuanyuan Chen, Du Heng and local officials, after ten days of busyness, finally distributed all the disaster relief funds allocated by the imperial court to the victims, and the natural disaster finally came to an end. According to statistics, the total number of deaths caused by this flood was as high as 80,000, which was the largest number of casualties and the most serious natural disaster since the founding of the Xuanyuan Dynasty.

After the Xuanyuan Dynasty experienced the catastrophic flood in Zhoushan, Emperor Wu did not win the hearts of the people because of a "guilty edict", but Xuanyuan Chen and Wanliang won unanimous praise and praise from the people of Zhoushan because of the flood. Now the people of Zhoushan say: "Chen Shizi is witty and has a good way to control the water; The future princess and Bodhisattva have a heart, saving the suffering and saving the suffering. "Because Xuanyuan Chen's high-profile proposal more than two months ago, and Xuanyuan Chen told anyone that Wanliang was her wife who was about to pass through the door, so the people knew that Wanliang was the future concubine.

The disaster was solved, and Du Heng had to return to Yandu to return to Emperor Wu for his life. I wanted to tell Wanliang a few more words alone before leaving, telling her to take care of herself and never let people know her life, but because she saw Wanliang a few times later, Xuanyuan Chen was by her side, so she couldn't talk to her alone. Before leaving Zhoushan, he couldn't find a chance to ask Wanliang a few more words, which made him feel a little regretful, but what made him angry was that Lianyi refused to go back to Yandu with him, and had to stay in Xinwangfu. In the end, it was his sister who believed in the princess and said: "It has only been long since Ye'er left, and Lian Yi is in the house to talk to me." Second brother, you just let Lianyi stay. When she wants to go back, I will send someone to escort her back to Yandu. He finally agreed to stay in the palace of King Xin. In fact, whether he agrees or not, Lian Yi has now made up her mind not to return to Yandu with him. This time, it has been almost two months since she wrote to the palace, and she hasn't even seen Brother Chen's face. Besides, she only knew that Brother Chen was engaged, and she hadn't heard the news of Brother Chen's divorce as she thought, how could she rest assured that she would return to Yandu! Originally, seeing that no one in the palace was busy with the wedding in the past ten days, she was secretly happy in her heart for several days. She knew in her heart that the woman must be unwilling to marry her brother Chen, but why didn't she hear the news of Brother Chen's divorce? And the disaster relief has ended, why hasn't Brother Chen replied to the palace? Brother Chen, where are you?

Ever since Wan Liang proposed to leave Liuyun Pavilion, Xuanyuan Chen seemed to be really worried that she would leave, and returned to Liuyun Pavilion to stick to her as soon as she was done. Xuanyuan Chen was very good to her as always, and was considerate in every way. Because she said "I don't want to marry him yet", Xuanyuan Chen postponed the auspicious day of the wedding, and never blamed her for a word, only saying that he would wait until she was willing to be his concubine. But the better Xuanyuan Chen treats her, the more entangled she becomes, because she can't, knowing that it was Chen's father Xuanyuan Yi who killed her father and two brothers with a piece of paper, and her mother is missing, and she is still his daughter-in-law, so she will have no shame to see her father when she dies! So she made up her mind to leave him. She was reluctant to leave him, but she couldn't convince herself to be with him, so she was entangled.

During this time, although Xuanyuan Chen spent a lot more time with Wanliang than the one or two months during the disaster relief, it was not that Xuanyuan Chen had nothing to do. In fact, during this time, Xuanyuan Chen was busy every day. Because of this flood, Xuanyuan Chen's restaurants, tea houses, and showhouses have suffered losses to varying degrees, which is the most serious loss he has encountered since he started business at the age of twelve. In order to turn losses into profits, he did not be a shopkeeper again during this time, but explained everything to his subordinates one by one. No matter how tired he was during the day, as long as he returned to Liuyun Pavilion to see his Awan, he suddenly felt tired and disappeared without a trace, and his spirit and spirit came back in an instant. This is also why, even if he finishes dealing with things in Weiheng Town, he must return to Liuyun Pavilion after more than two hours. Originally, he also had another courtyard purchased for himself in Weiheng Town, called "Yanlai Pavilion". However, there is no Awan in "Yanlai Pavilion", so he doesn't want to go back to "Yanlai Pavilion".
