Chapter 227 Sickness

Pei Luoshu pursed his lips and thought secretly.

"Eleven, you have to understand that the money you invested will not be rewarded."

Chen Shiyi nodded.

"I know that money can be earned again if it is lost, but if so many people died in the flood, you, as a local leader, would be extremely distressed. Besides, you and I are husband and wife, and we should share the glory and disgrace together."

After hearing this, Pei Luoshu hugged Chen Shiyi tightly.

"My lady, you are so kind to me."

Chen Shiyi pried open his restless hands and pinched his arm viciously. Pei Luoshu groaned in pain.

"Don't do anything outside. There are so many people watching."

Pei Luoshu responded with a wronged look.

"knew."

Chen Shiyi stood up from the stool and brushed off the dust on his body.

"I'm going to Tianxin Bank now. You can start gathering people and get started."

Pei Luoshu also stood up.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away."

Before leaving, Chen Shiyi turned around and spoke softly.

"It's actually a good idea. If you don't want to go to Kyoto, then just treat this matter as a small matter in Jiangzhou. Don't accept any rewards in the future, and avoid having anything to do with Kyoto."

Pei Luoshu held Chen Shiyi's hands and was very moved.

"Eleven, you've thought of everything for me."

Chen Shiyi pursed his lips and smiled.

"Well, what can I do? My husband must take care of himself."

Chen Shiyi rode at full speed, taking Fu Da and Bo Yuan to Tianxin Bank.

The treasury manager received Chen Shiyi.

"Madam, the bank needs to transfer silver. You have to wait about three days."

Chen Shiyi was silent for a moment.

"How much silver can the bank transfer now?"

"At most twenty thousand taels."

"Okay, you first transfer the twenty thousand taels. I need it urgently. You have to prepare the rest within three days."

"yes."

When Chen Shiyi left the house, he gave some instructions to the shopkeeper.

"I hope the treasury manager can keep the matter of taking the silver a secret."

The banker looked ashamed.

"Of course, this is Madam's private matter."

Now that the money is in place, everything can be done faster. It will be much faster than reporting to Kyoto.

The next day, Pei Luoshu stayed in the Black Wind Gorge in Zimu County, Jiangzhou.

When the officials below saw Pei Luoshu in person, they did not dare to slack off. They all followed Pei Luoshu trembling with fear, each fulfilling their own responsibilities.

During this period, Chen Shiyi often took Fu Da to run around, sometimes to Jiangzhou Prefecture, sometimes to Zimu County to remind Pei Luoshu to eat well.

Pei Luoshu held her hand and stood on the top of the canyon. Water droplets fell from the tip of the oil-paper umbrella like threads, and the humidity enveloped the two of them.

They were deeply moved as they watched the bustling scene below.

"Eleven, I feel that all the hard work, anxiety, and sleepless nights during this period are worth it at this moment. I don't know what will happen in the future, but at this moment, the people of Jiangzhou no longer have to suffer from floods, no refugees and famine, no fleeing thousands of miles, no separation of life and death, no starving people filling the ground... This is my ultimate long-cherished wish to enter the officialdom."

Chen Shiyi raised his eyes and looked at him quietly with a smile.

"My husband is the best man in the world."

Pei Luoshu turned around and held Chen Shiyi tightly in his arms.

"My wife is the kindest person in the world."

Mountains, rivers, grass, trees, rain, umbrellas, and hands clasped together, facing the fresh wind, feeling the passing of time.

Chen Shiyi is sick.

Very ill.

When she returned to Jiangzhou City, she fell off her horse. Fu Da was following her, but he was not fast enough to stop her from falling off the horse.

Fortunately, she was not injured anywhere, but her whole body was hot and her face was burning like a boiled shrimp.

It must be because I caught a cold running around in the rain during this period.

She seems not to have been sick for a long time.

This time the illness came with great severity. She lay in bed and took medicine for several days, but it didn't work.

The fever made her feel dazed all day, and it seemed that all the illnesses she hadn't had in the past few years were coming together.

Bailing was so anxious that bubbles appeared on the corners of her mouth.

"Several doctors have come, but none of them can reduce the fever. Why don't we bring Lao Qin over from Yanzhou? Otherwise, if things continue like this, my sister will sooner or later be burned to death."

Bo Yuan was very anxious.

"How about we go find Master Pei?"

Fu Da said coldly.

"What's the point of looking for him? It'll just make one more person worry. Besides, his affairs are more important."

He thought about it again.

"Bai Ling, send a letter to Lao Qin by flying pigeon, and tell him to hurry to Jiangzhou as soon as possible."

"Don't be too quick, I'm coming."

Outside the door, Lao Qin's voice suddenly rang out.

Several people were amazed.

"Why are you here?"

The servant unloaded the luggage from Lao Qin and then spoke breathlessly.

"A long time ago, Governor Pei sent me a message, saying that he was worried that there would be a flood in Jiangzhou. If a disaster occurred, there would be an epidemic, so he asked me to be ready to come at any time. I brought all the medicinal herbs with me."

Bai Ling said hurriedly.

"Let's talk about other things later. Let's go check on Sister. She has a severe fever. I just changed her clothes. She keeps crying in pain, but I don't know where it hurts."

Lao Qin asked as he walked.

"What's wrong? Didn't you see a doctor?"

"I've been to the hospital for a long time. I've been given a lot of medicine and a lot of acupuncture, but the fever just won't go down."

Lao Qin took Chen Shiyi's pulse and was silent for a while.

"She has too much cold in her body and she has old injuries. She is in a very bad condition. Bailing, go get a bathtub. She needs to soak in a medicinal bath for a while."

After hearing this, Bai Ling turned around and went out to prepare.

Lao Qin took out a silver needle and gave Chen Shiyi a few acupuncture needles, then prepared to go out to prepare the herbs.

Bo Yuan, who was watching closely from the side, also followed him out.

"Old Qin, you hesitate to talk about the boss's illness."

Old Qin looked at this man who was always coquettish and didn't expect that he had such a considerate side.

"She has been running around, relying on her good health, and she doesn't even need to take a rest. Now that she is suddenly not busy anymore, all her old illnesses and all the sorrows and pains she has suffered have come flooding back. Don't worry, with me, Old Qin, here, there is nothing to be afraid of. However, she has a severe cold, and in the future... forget it, let's not talk about it. You should quickly find Pei Zhizhou and I can talk to him."

After listening to Fu Da's words, Bo Yuan did not go to find Pei Luoshu.

There is really no point in him coming back except to cause worry, and besides, Black Wind Canyon needs him now.

Chen Shiyi didn’t know how long he had been ill. He always felt dizzy and couldn’t open his eyes. There seemed to be a fire burning him, causing pain all over his body.

Someone lifted my head up, and a bitter taste filled my mouth again.

She didn't want to drink it. She always felt that this bitter thing was disgusting, just like eating fish at sea.

Not only do I have to stuff my luggage with all sorts of messy stuff every day, but I also have to carry a heavy object on my body, making it hard for me to breathe.

The pain spreads all over my body, it's painful and uncomfortable. I should stop thinking about it and I think I'll be fine after a while of sleep.

However, there was a voice calling in my ear.

"Eleven, don't sleep!"

"Don't sleep, I beg you!"

Oh, it’s so noisy.

But she didn't respond, so she kept shouting and shouting...
