633 So That's It

"Xin'er's mother, Xi'er is seven years younger than Changzhi. Isn't it a bit inappropriate? If Xi'er grows up, will your family be anxious?"

Ma saw that there was a chance and said hurriedly, "Our whole family likes Xi'er, so what's the harm in waiting for two or three years? Changzhi is only twenty years old, and it doesn't matter if he is older, as he can concentrate on his studies.

Ping'an's mother, go back and discuss it with Ping'an's father. If they are willing, you can wait for Ping'an and his family to come back before getting engaged. Once our two families have an idea in mind, we will know what to say if someone from outside really comes to propose marriage. Don't you agree?"

Ma came closer to Mei Niang and said, "My eldest uncle is worried that the prince is close to Ping An and might want to bring Na Xier into the palace. My eldest brother said that this possibility is not small, and he even told Ping An about it."

Mei Niang was a little panicked.

No matter how good the prince is, her Xier would not want to be with him. The prince is the future emperor, and there must be at least fifty concubines in the harem. Her Xier is innocent and naive, so how could it be suitable for her to live there?

She exhaled slowly: "Xin'er's mother, I will discuss this matter with my husband when I get back, but even if he agrees, the engagement will have to wait until my family returns safely. It's good for both our families to be aware of this matter."

Even though her husband agreed to this matter, she also had to ask Xier first, because her daughter had to be willing to get married.

However, it is absolutely impossible to find a family better than the Sun family.

"Of course, we have to discuss it. We definitely won't tell anyone about it before the engagement." Ma was in a very good mood.

Xier is much better than Liu Qiuyan, whether in terms of character, family background, or any other aspect.

She was so satisfied.

Mei Niang is good at giving birth to children. The baby is safe and sound, and everything about him is good. Even Pingxuan is much better than other children of the same age.

The nephew looks like his uncle, so the children Xier will give birth to in the future will definitely be good.

When two families get married, the most important thing is to know each other's background well. Mei Niang and her husband are both very nice people, and they are a good match. So what's the point of waiting for two or three years?

Ping An brought people back from purchasing.

Sun Sicheng and several others came over.

"Master, we asked many people and they said that a lot of disaster victims came to these places a while ago. Some of them went to visit relatives, and some local government offices also accommodated some of them. But no disaster victims have come out in the past three days. I heard that the government office has closed the road."

"Close the road?" Sun Sicheng was shocked. There was only one possible reason for the sudden closure of the road, and that was that there was really a plague. The prefect did not dare to let the victims find a way to survive on their own. If the virus spread everywhere, he would not be able to escape the blame even if he died.

Zhu Yuanzheng muttered to himself, "Sicheng, I'm afraid it's really not good."

Zhang Jinping and Bai Jiaxuan looked at each other, and both saw fear in each other's eyes.

They always thought that at least 50% of the time the chances were good.

now……

Sun Sicheng said in a deep voice: "Uncle Zhu, we don't need to scare ourselves now. Tomorrow morning I will ask He Jin and a few others to go to the government office to find out what's going on. If the situation is really bad, we have no choice but to go ahead.

Ping'an, Xiaoshan and I did not rest along the way. We were always studying various possible viruses. Ping'an had them all in a book, and we also brought enough protective measures when we came.

Jinping, Jiaxuan, today we are all five together, let's talk about something in private. We should protect ourselves and our people as much as possible. It would be best if we can save more people, but no matter what, we must put our own lives first. Our families are waiting for us to return. Do you agree or not?"

Zhang Jinping nodded: "I didn't plan to achieve any merit this time. To be honest, I'm very scared right now. I just want to go back alive, be filial to my father, raise my children well, and grow old with my wife. Everything else is nothing in the face of life and death."

Bai Jiaxuan said: "Jiaxuan just wants to be with the elders and Ping'an, and go home safely. He doesn't ask for anything else."

"Okay, from now on, we will cook all imported goods at high temperatures. It's okay if it's a little troublesome. I've also brought a lot of alcohol. The epidemic is most afraid of high temperatures and alcohol. After we arrive in the city, I will privately cook a bowl of lung-clearing and detoxifying soup for us every day. Drinking it for a few days in a row will have some benefits.

Okay, go to bed early after eating, because you have to get up early tomorrow. I will leave a message for General Hao. They are only three to five days away from us.

Uncle Zhu, it's late September now, please dress warmly, the temperature is a bit low in the morning and evening."

Zhu Yuanzheng looked at Sun Sicheng who had arranged everything properly, and felt indescribable regret in his heart. It was a pity that such a good man did not become his son-in-law.

But he had to admit that his daughter was not worthy of him, so it was fine this way.

After dinner, Sun Sicheng called his and Ping An’s people together and distributed several sets of protective gowns, masks, hats, and gloves to each of them.

I told everyone again what they might encounter, and everyone was a little surprised, but not afraid.

In the face of disaster, fear is of no use.

Ping An emphasized again the things that everyone should pay attention to when they arrive at the place. His face was heavy and he looked very serious.

Finally, Sun Sicheng asked He Jin to take Da Zhuang and Da Chao and ride ahead after five o'clock in the morning. They were not allowed to get close to the victims they met on the road and were not to be careless at any time.

Just as Sun Sicheng and his men were making various preparations, the six villages under Yuhang Prefecture were infected with the disease. More than 20% of the more than 2,000 people were infected, and more than a dozen people had lost their lives.

The people in the six villages who were not sick all wanted to run away. How could the government allow them?

They used both force and medication to suppress the crowd, and then let them separate the infected and the temporarily uninfected people themselves. They also spread the news that the director of the Imperial Hospital, the eldest son Sun Sicheng, and the little medical saint Ping An would be here soon. Only then were they able to control the emotions of these people.

Lord Huang was already extremely anxious. With so many doctors in Yuhang Prefecture, including Huo Zhi, they could only barely suppress the spread of the virus, and the people's condition was still getting worse.

If these civilians fled in panic at night, the soldiers could only shoot them instead of threatening them.

If a fish slips through the net and enters other places, the consequences are unimaginable. If the virus spreads everywhere, even to neighboring states, it will not only be a capital crime but the whole family may be exterminated.

"Sir, the eldest master's subordinate, Manager He, has arrived with two guards."

"Please come in, please come in." Lord Huang almost lost his composure, his voice trembling.

The other adults also breathed a sigh of relief.

Wang Qing suddenly felt a lump in his throat.

He and Ping An haven't seen each other for many years. As the older brother, he has always been the one who enjoyed all kinds of care from Ping An.

Now that they met in Jiangnan, he should have done his best to be a good host, but he ended up causing trouble for him.

Not only the local people, but also his family. His little daughter has a heat poison in her throat. She took medicine two days ago and it was fine, but it suddenly got worse last night. She can hardly eat or drink water, let alone bitter medicine.

The child could no longer cry, and his mother and parents were extremely anxious. His mother's condition seemed to be even worse.
