Chapter 145: The Plague

After chatting with An Shi'an, An Qien couldn't sit still, she made some nutritious and delicious meals and asked Bai Lu to send them.

On the surface, it was given to An Shi'an, but in fact, it was the weight of two people, and she was embarrassed to show her thoughts too obviously, so she could only do it in this way.

Bai Lu sent the food to the river canal just as it was a meal, and Lu Bochu and An Shi'an had just finished inspecting.

Bai Lu bowed his head respectfully and said, "Lord, uncle, my lady asked the slave maid to come over to deliver lunch." ”

Lu Bochu thought that he must not have his share, he was happy to be like this last time, and this time he didn't have hope, so he said to An Shi'an: "This king has gone to the kitchen for dinner." ”

Bai Lu hurriedly said: "Lord Wang, please stay, Mrs. An has prepared a double portion, saying that if the prince does not dislike it, you can eat it with the uncle." ”

Lu Bochu was taken aback, this time it was completely unexpected, the look on his face immediately warmed up a little, his eyes lit up, and the corners of his lips curved slightly.

"Go back and tell your lady that the king thanks her."

Bai Lu: "Yes." ”

Lu Bochu and An Shi'an went to the dining room to eat together, opened the food box, there were fragrant braised pork ribs, lotus root pork balls, and beef brisket pot, as well as two green vegetables to relieve greasy, the soup is a big bone broth, just look at the thick white soup to know how delicious this soup is.

Originally, Lu Bochu lost his temper all morning because of the trivial things on the canal, and An Shi'an tried not to speak if he could.

Unexpectedly, An Qien asked someone to bring food over, and Lu Bochu's mood dissipated in an instant like a dark cloud.

Lu Bochu picked up a lotus root pork ball, took a bite of it and tasted delicious, he said excitedly and proudly: "Your sister finally rewarded me with some food this time." ”

In An Qien, he always puts his posture very low, and he does not have the slightest frame of a high-ranking prince.

An Shi'an swallowed what was in his mouth and replied respectfully: "Lord Wang, put your posture too low, Qi En doesn't have the guts, she is slower to heat, and the prince needs to be more patient." ”

Remembering that when she was a child, An Qien was also very wary of An Shi'an and An Weinuan, and lived carefully in An's mansion, just because she was a concubine and listened to some gossip that a concubine could only live like a slave, so she was not close to him when she was a child.

Later, he often took her to play and fought for her the opportunity to study, the concubine was not qualified to go to a private school to study, and it was An Shi'an who fought for her words, so she was beaten by An Zhengyuan.

Since then, An Qien has followed him like a little follower, brother every day, and his brother's shouting has been non-stop.

Lu Bochu picked up another piece of ribs, and he said thoughtfully: "It's not that this king doesn't want to go step by step, it's that Your Majesty doesn't give this king time, and you can do her ideological work on Shi Anqien's side." ”

An Shi'an: "Didn't the prince notice that Qien's attitude had changed?" I think it's better for the prince to talk to her about this matter seriously. ”

Lu Bochu felt that he really had to talk to her, and he thought to himself that he would talk to An Qien about it after he was busy in the past few days.

The two big men chatted for a while and ate all the food, and after eating and drinking, Lu Bochu said with satisfaction: "This is the most delicious meal this king has eaten recently." ”

An Shi'an smiled and didn't speak.

When she went back in the evening, An Qien prepared dinner and ate with An Shi'an, she knocked on the side and asked, "Brother, are you still busy on the other side of the canal recently?" ”

An Shi'an understood her, and said directly without beating around the bush with her: "I have to be busy for a few days, the prince likes to eat the food you sent very much, and he is in a much better mood after eating your food, otherwise your brother will be worried in the past few days." ”

An Qien came interested and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

"Your Majesty is putting pressure on the prince, and now there is something wrong with the project of the canal, and things are rushing together, and you are lukewarm to him, Qien, brother said something objective and fair, with the identity of the prince, he can completely ignore your feelings and marry directly into the mansion, but he doesn't, he respects you very much!"

"Brother is still the same sentence, the prince is a person who can be trusted, don't miss the opportunity when it comes."

An Qien was undecided, she had left Hou Fuhe, and this identity was afraid that Lu Bo would break his career in junior high school.

And she thinks that men's likes and passions are generally three minutes hot, just like Qiao Jianghong liked Shen Shuli so much at the beginning, but in the end, it was not a cold end?

She didn't want to delay Lu Bochu's career, but there was always an inexplicable affection in her heart, which made her even more indecisive.

She said earnestly: "Brother, my identity has a great impact on the prince, and I don't know what to do now, so let's let it be and see how the prince handles it." ”

If he insists on marrying and can remove all obstacles, and feels that the future does not matter, then she will marry.

An Shi'an didn't want to say anything, and nodded.

......

For a few days, An Qien asked Bai Lu to send lunch, and she went to the pharmacy to be busy when she had nothing to do.

was sorting herbs at the pharmacy, and Yu Lan came.

"Grab me some beauty herbs." Yu Lan said this to the shopkeeper.

After An Qien heard her voice, he put down the herbs in his hand and walked towards her with a smile.

"Miss Yu."

Yu Lan smiled at her gently: "Lady An, I'll grab some herbs, I heard that you have herbs for beauty and beauty, I'll grab some and try them." ”

The shopkeeper silently went to grab the medicine.

An Qien said with a smile on his face, "Miss Yu, wait a minute." ”

Yu Lan was actually deliberately looking for an opportunity to get close to An Qien, hoping to have a good relationship with An Qien, so that she could get closer to An Shi'an more naturally.

"I haven't seen her for a while, but Ann's complexion is much better."

"It's a lot better after recuperating for a while, and Miss Yu's complexion is also very good."

The shopkeeper packed the herbs and handed them to Yu Lan with both hands.

Yu Lan put her hand into her sleeve and prepared to take out the silver.

An Qien immediately excused himself and said, "This little herb is not valuable, I gave it to Miss Yu." ”

Yu Lan smiled, thinking that she couldn't collect things for nothing, and suddenly thought of something and said: "It's very embarrassing to collect Mrs. An's things for nothing, there is a singing opera in the teahouse today, I invite Mrs. An to listen to the play, how about this?" ”

Yu Lan helped An Qien, and An Qien naturally would not refuse, and Yu Lan gave her the feeling that it was worth intersecting with, and she should be a good friend.

She nodded happily, and the two walked towards the teahouse while talking.

Lin Yanyun, who was not far away, saw this scene, her eyes stared at An Qien's back viciously as if she was about to eat someone, her fists clenched her nails and sank deep into the flesh, her upper teeth clenched and her lower teeth seemed to bite off her front teeth.

She will definitely not let the An family have a good time, and the blood debt must be paid in blood!

It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and she has nothing to do.

An Qien and Yu Lan listened to the opera in the teahouse for two hours, and after the end, the two came out of the teahouse with great interest.

Yu Lan said happily: "Although I was born and raised in Jingyang, I don't have any friends, I talked so much with Mrs. An today, I really hate to see each other late, and I will often come to disturb Mrs. An in the future." ”

An Qien smiled slightly: "It's also my honor to get to know Miss Yu, if Miss Yu is usually fine, just come to the teahouse to chat and relieve boredom." ”

The more the two chatted, the more like-minded they became, and they didn't want to separate before they parted.

Suddenly, a deserted refugee stumbled to the ground, not responding at all.

An Qien was about to go up to check, but Yu Lan stopped her vigilance and said: "An Niangzi is still careful, my aunt said that their people have the plague and are fleeing in all directions, and my aunt stayed in my house not long ago, fortunately, she was not infected." ”

Yu Lan covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, looked at the disheveled man lying on the ground from a distance, and then said: "I heard my aunt say that people who have the plague first have a high fever and cough, and they will die in two days. ”

"This person looks like he's from out of town, and I don't know if it's better to be careful."

A man came up to check it out, and suddenly, as if he had seen a ghost, he fell to the ground and shouted, "Dead, dead........"

As soon as the man died, there was no need to look at it, and a fierce man ordered the two beggars who were squatting in the corner: "Carry the people to the mass grave and throw them away." ”

As the words fell, he threw two copper plates into the beggar's shabby and dirty bowl.

The beggar went to carry the dead man on the ground.

Yu Lan pulled An Qien away, afraid of scaring her and comforted: "Don't worry too much, now the city gate is strictly controlled, and generally those who come from the plague can't enter the city gate of Jingyang, I remind you that you are just careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years." ”

An Qien smiled slightly, thinking that this was the reason.......

......

Another few days passed, and Lu Bochu still didn't show up, An Qien didn't want to do that, and she didn't care about the matter at the bereaved children's home, and handed it over to An Shi'an to keep an eye on.

Now that a lot of people have been added, the house can be built relatively quickly.

An Shi'an is coming back later and later, and An Qien hasn't seen him for a few days.

Today, she got up very early, but she still didn't see An Shi'an, and the next person said that An'an went out at dawn every day.

An Qien was faintly worried, why is this canal getting busier and busier? What the hell is going on?

She was puzzled, so she went to deliver lunch in person at noon.

When she got to the canal, she saw that there were obviously fewer people working, and there were always problems on the construction site, and she saw from afar that a craftsman had somehow fallen from the shore into the pit.

Lu Bochu's figure was busy inside, and she hadn't seen her for more than ten days, and she felt that the prince had lost weight.

An Shi'an saw her coming to deliver food, so she came over with a mask to catch her up: "Go back quickly, many people have a cold, don't infect you, don't come here." ”

An Qien was stunned and suddenly thought of Yu Lan's words, and she asked faintly uneasy: "Brother, why are there so many people missing?" ”

"It's time for leave, somehow many people have a high fever and can't go to work, you hurry back and put on a mask, don't come out if you have nothing to do."

At this time, a craftsman suddenly came over and shouted: "Steward An, it's not good, Liu Laosan, who took leave, died, and only one of the few people who took leave with him was alive....."
