Chapter 278: The Heart Is Panicking

As soon as Xu Xinru left, Yan Kaizhi came back from outside in a hurry, and as soon as he entered the house, someone had already told him about the dough. Striding back to the house but seeing Shaohua shaking his sleeping son, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, walked over, and lowered his voice, for fear of waking his son.

Looking at the quiet sleeping face, Yan Kaizhi frowned slightly, "I heard that this kid cried fiercely just now, what happened." ”

Shaohua amused to see that he usually always stayed away from his son, but he was actually very nervous, so he told him, "Xu's is here." ”

Sure enough, Yan Kaizhi's face sank, and his tone became sharp, "What is she doing here?" ”

Shaohua lightly brushed aside the matter just now, "It's nothing, I guess I know about the Xu family, and I said that I wanted to see Xu Erlang, so I asked me to give it back." At this time, the nurse came and took the dough, owed them a debt, and left.

Seeing that Shaohua didn't say much, Yan Kaizhi did not hesitate to pursue it, and watched his son go away before he spoke: "This juncture can't let her cause trouble again." The second master has already sent troops to thoroughly investigate Pingzhou, and there is also a big trouble in the palace. ”

Pingzhou is in trouble, it is bound to affect Xu He's old bottom, and there is a Xu Ziang in the Xu family who was pinched by the emperor, so he naturally couldn't move. The He family could have walked away, how to say that there was a queen and a queen mother in the palace, but the Xu and He families had long been grasshoppers on the same line, even if the He family wanted to leave, the Xu family had to hold it. Hongyi just wants them to hold each other in order to start from it.

Of course, the two harem masters of the He family naturally would not sit idly by, but Hongyi set up two nobles and a concubine in one go, and the three of them were pregnant at the same time, which suppressed Queen He's momentum. The Queen Mother was able to hold her footing, but she was discouraged by Rouwan's previous events, and she suffered migraines from time to time. Hongyi used the excuse of letting the Queen Mother recuperate and not allow anyone to disturb her, including the queen, so angry that the Queen Mother He almost jumped to her feet.

Shaohua asked in surprise, "Is it really the tomb of Mrs. Xuan?" ”

Although Yan Kaizhi pretended to be sick and did not enter the palace, he was not idle at home, Hongyi just gave him an excuse to let him move freely secretly. Therefore, no one else was in Pingzhou, but the news of Pingzhou was pinched in his hands word for word. He thought for a while, "Listening to the news handed over by Pingzhou, there is indeed a cat underneath, but it doesn't look like the tomb of Mrs. Xuan, maybe there is really a treasure." ”

"How rich Uncle Xiao was at the beginning." Shaohua's words made Yan Kaizhi's seriousness break his head, and he shook his head and smiled at her nonsense. Shaohua also knew that his focus was wrong, but he retorted reluctantly: "What are you laughing at, aren't you, how much was donated to the treasury at the beginning, how much was generous, and if there is still a treasure." Oh my God, oh my God, I can't even imagine it. ”

Yan Kaizhi replied with a smile: "It's not yours, what dare you think." ”

Shaohua thought about it and was a little lost, "That's the same, it's not mine, it's a pity." ”

Yan Kaizhi glanced at her listless appearance, and straightened her attitude, "By the way, tell the people in the house not to go out if they are fine, I heard that there is a place in Luyang that area has smallpox, many people have died, the place can't be suppressed, some people have escaped, and they don't know where to run, don't go out and provoke some unclean things back." ”

This is what worries him even more, he has not heard this name for a long time, and now it has come out of nowhere, and he doesn't know where to start.

Shaohua knew smallpox, she had seen two good friends die like this, so when she heard Yan Kaizhi say this, her heart chuckled, and her nerves immediately tensed. She made a joke and said seriously: "Luyang? It's so far from here, right? ”

Yan Kaizhi nodded, "Having said that, there are already people who have escaped, and I don't know if these people are sick." Both Heyang and Pu'an have children who fall ill with high fever, although I don't know if it's not, but we still have to be cautious. "These messages have been blocked, and the people in Beijing have not received the news, but if the illness in Heyang and Pu'an is confirmed to be smallpox, then the capital will be in danger. This does not require a large army to invade, it is almost a gust of wind, and no one knows the next infected, and the vast majority of sick children will not escape.

The reason why he was so nervous was precisely because he had a wife and a young family, and he specially inquired, and Shaohua had not had smallpox, which made him even more worried.

There were many worries in his heart, and the man put his hands behind his back, his brows were tightly locked, and he looked very irritable. If this is really smallpox, it will be terrible, the matter of Pingzhou is not over, and King Doro can't last this season, this succession of things happened too quickly and too weirdly.

Yan Kaizhi looked at the void a little distracted, and said to himself, "Could it be that this array has really been activated?" ”

The army is easy to block, but the serious illness is difficult to prevent.

Yan Kaizhi received the news and warned Shaohua not to go out casually, and soon received the news that the city gate was to be sealed. As soon as she heard the sealing gate, Shaohua immediately felt that the tendons in her head were about to swell out, and in her memory, every time she heard about the sealing gate, it was not a good thing.

Xiao Liuzi became Shaohua's most trusted eyes and ears, and immediately reported back after inquiring about the news from outside, "Mrs. Hui, it seems that two outsiders came to Beijing to see a doctor, but they died in the inn, some people say it was smallpox." I heard that Jing Zhao Yin sent people to fence the inn and burned all the corpses. Now I'm closing the gates of the city and looking for people everywhere. ”

Hatsuha and Youhan were also frightened by the name smallpox, and although they had never seen it, they had heard how terrible smallpox really was.

Shaohua calmed down and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Xiao Liuzi replied truthfully: "I heard that it was a fever, cough, itchy rash, in short, those who were not in good health were arrested." ”

Bi Die was so frightened that she stammered a little, "So serious?" ”

Xiao Liuzi nodded and said, "How can it not be serious, I heard that these people will be executed tomorrow." ”

Hatsuhe shouted out in a lost voice, "What?! To the extent that patients were dying everywhere, Chu He subconsciously clenched his arms tightly, feeling goosebumps all over his body.

Youhan couldn't help but be surprised, and asked curiously, "What's the matter with them?"

Xiao Liuzi shrugged his shoulders and felt disdain for Youhan's performance: "Who knows, in short, the imperial doctors are out of the palace, saying that it is okay if it is not smallpox, and if it is, they will all be executed." This is not a joke, the capital is full of nobles, and if the disease is brought to them, the imperial doctors will lose their heads. ”

"What if the doctor makes a mistake?" The jade cicada asked in a whisper beside her, and immediately encountered three pairs of white eyes, and she hurriedly lowered her head.

Xiao Liuzi glanced at the jade cicada and sneered: "Didn't you listen to the mistake of killing and not letting go, at this juncture, who cares if the diagnosis is wrong." Looking at Shaohua, who was speechless, Xiao Liuzi immediately shut up after speaking, for fear that she would be powerful.

Who doesn't know how terrible this smallpox is, but what is even more terrible is the rumors, if they talk nonsense everywhere, make people panic, and if they fall down first, they will be taken away as an illness.

Xiao Liuzi's silence made the others also notice the ugly face of Shaohua, each of you look at me, I look at you, until Shaohua opened his voice, they breathed a sigh of relief.

Shaohua took a deep breath and told in an orderly manner: "Don't discuss it, you all tell you to go down, and those who have gone out recently must be reported." If you feel unwell, go to the doctor immediately and go home to rest without concealment. In addition, except for you, none of the maids in the courtyard are allowed to go out, and don't let people in, it's important to take care of the two young masters. Ask people to boil more hot water, boil all the utensils in the kitchen, and all those who come back from outside must clean themselves before entering the second door. Chu He, you take someone to the warehouse to see, and find out if there are any medicinal materials that can be detoxified. ”

"Yes, ma'am."

Everyone had a surprisingly tacit understanding, and immediately went their separate ways after agreeing.

However, it was not only Shaohua and their family who received the news, but everyone in the capital began to get nervous, although everyone did not say it, but they all knew it in their hearts. The clan also immediately sent someone to take the balls back, Shaohua did not object, she knew that Wanhua was also worried. Although Maruki was not happy, under Shaohua's comfort, he still obediently left with Shuyu.

Just when she was directing the subordinates in the family to do things in full swing, Yan Kaizhi and Song Yu came back.

But before they could step into the door, they saw a group of people washing the floor and burning incense at the door, and when they saw them, someone immediately rushed up and brought hot water to wash their hands and wipe their faces. Song Yu was taken aback by them, and glanced at Yan Kai in dismay, looking at him with a blank expression, obviously unaware.

He raised his eyebrows amusedly, and joked to Yan Kaizhi: "When is the rule in your house, you have to burn incense when you enter the door?" ”

Yan Kaizhi was ridiculed by Song Yu like this, his face was a little unbearable, and he scolded the doorkeeper and wanted to go in. But how dare they let them go, so they had to reply tremblingly: "Master Qiyu, it was explained by the lady, and everyone who comes back from outside must be like this." ”

Yan Kaizhi frowned, but he was quickly relieved, nodded, and asked people to bring the towel basin up.

Song Yu looked funny, "Hey, she's really interesting, what's the use of doing this, she will still come." As he spoke, he pushed open the basin with a fan and made a gesture to go in, but Yan Kaiyi grabbed it and dragged him back.

He looked back at Yan Kaizhi dissatisfied, and heard him say coldly: "Come in after washing." ”

Song Yu complained, but he still obediently did it: "Hey, how can you believe this." ”

Yan Kaizhi saw him follow, so he didn't embarrass him, but just whispered, "My son is still young." Then he strode home.

Song Yu was almost choked by his words, his hands were not dry, he waved a few times casually, and complained in his mouth to catch up with Yan Kaizhi's pace, "Really, it's amazing to have a son." His mother urged him to give birth, but this was not what he thought, staring at Linlan's belly and having no news, he immediately accepted two concubines, but Linlan had an unpleasant quarrel with her, and she was not a person in front of her parents. finally made their wives and concubines reconcile, and one of the concubines was also pregnant, but she had a miscarriage within two months, and there was another trouble.

He used to like to be romantic, yes, but he didn't want a group of women to be around and chatter, crying and complaining all day long.

Sometimes seeing that Yan Kai is relaxed, marrying a wife and giving birth to a son, even if he lacks the beauty of the concubine, he is happy and quiet.

Yan Kaizhi saw that he suddenly slowed down two steps, turned around and provoked him: "It's better than you, you have the ability, you can also give birth." ”

Song Yu was extremely painful by his foot, glared at him fiercely, strode past him, and walked to the front first.
