Chapter 206 Song Shuan's Letter
That's good. She was also worried that the Wu family would be unhappy because of Su Yan's matter, which would lead to a rift between the two.
On this day, the Song family was relieved to see the interaction between the young couple.
Wu Yueqin was still his original temperament, playful and noisy, often making everyone laugh, which was completely different from Song Jinling's quiet temperament.
It was these two temperaments that complemented each other. Thinking that they would have a happy life in the future, Song Shuqing finally put her mind at ease.
It was not until the afternoon that Wu Yueqin took his little wife back to the Wu Mansion.
And shortly after they left, a man who looked like a servant rode a horse and hurried to the gate of the Song Mansion.
"Zuo'an, why are you back at this time? Aren't you working with the third elder?" The gatekeeper asked curiously when he saw the person coming.
"Xiao Qi, is the old lady at home?" The servant named Zuo'an asked anxiously, and hurried inside.
"Yes, the eldest lady is coming home today, and the whole family is here. The eldest aunt's family is also here." As
soon as Zuo'an entered the gate, he saw Feng Zuwen and his family preparing to say goodbye and return home.
Song Shuqing recognized at a glance that this was the useful person serving his third brother.
Zuo'an greeted him and hurried to the main courtyard.
Song Shuqing grabbed Feng Zuwen and asked him not to leave for the time being.
The couple took the children back to the main hall.
As soon as Zuo'an entered the main hall, he saw the old lady and the old lady were still sitting at the top of the main hall, happily chatting about their grandson and son-in-law.
The eldest master, the eldest lady, the second master, and the second lady were all there.
He immediately stepped forward and knelt down with a thump: "I have seen the old lady and the old lady."
"Aren't you serving the third brother? Why are you back?" Song Wenbo asked curiously.
"Old lady, the master asked me to deliver a letter." Zuo An took out a letter from his arms in a hurry and raised his hands above his head respectfully.
The maid stepped forward to take it and handed it to Song Wenbo.
Song Wenbo took it and looked at it. It was sealed with wax, which showed that it had not been peeked.
He opened the envelope and pulled it out. There was actually another envelope inside.
Song Wenbo first looked at the content of the letter outside.
It was written by the third brother himself, and you can tell from the handwriting.
As the contents of the letter unfolded, Song Wenbo's face changed. The more he read, the more frightened he became, and his expression became more and more serious.
He quickly finished reading and stood up.
"Shu Ming, Zu Wen, follow me to the study." Song Wenbo stood up and strode out.
The two who were called also stood up immediately, but they didn't know what happened.
When they came to Song Wenbo's study in the outer courtyard, he handed the letter directly to Song Shuming: "You can take a look."
The two read at the same time.
"Dad, how could this happen? There is actually a plague in Ganyang City. What about my third brother? Will he be infected too?"
"Father-in-law, my son-in-law is entering the palace now. Didn't my third brother ask you to take the letter to the emperor? Let me take it." Feng Zuwen took the initiative to take care of the matter.
"Okay, Shu Ming, go call Zuo An and ask him more clearly." Song Wenbo ordered.
"Yes."
Zuo An was already waiting outside the study. He had long guessed that the old lady would ask him questions.
The master asked him to come back quickly because he wanted to bring the news to the emperor as soon as possible so that the emperor could make the decision.
The master did not dare to write a memorial to the capital directly, because the news would spread quickly and he was afraid of causing panic among the people. So he wrote a secret memorial and asked him to bring it back.
"Tell me about the situation in Ganyang City." Song Wenbo asked seriously.
"Yes, old man. The master has been living in peace since he took office as the prefect of Ganyang City. However, just half a month ago, he received a report from Xie Wenyuan, the county magistrate of Linyuan County.
Many people in Linyuan County experienced runny nose, cough, sore throat, headache, and general discomfort. In the later stages, some patients developed gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, and watery stools. Finally, they developed pneumonia and respiratory distress and eventually died.
Lord Xie suspected it was a plague, but before the master could make an instruction, the county magistrates of two more counties sent the same emergency reports. In just one day, the same symptoms appeared in Ganyang City."
"What did Shu An arrange when you left?"
"The master has asked General Guan for help, and the entire city is under martial law, including all the county towns." Zuo An said hurriedly.
"How many days did it take you to get back?"
"I worked day and night, and it took me five days."
"Well, you go down first, stay in your room, and don't go anywhere."
If it is really a plague, Zuo An may also be infected.
I hope he is not.
After Song Wenbo left the main hall with his son and son-in-law.
Everyone who stayed looked at each other, and was worried.
"Mom, I don't know what my third brother wrote to make Dad's expression change?" Liang Qiuxiang asked puzzledly.
"Let the elders worry about their own affairs, and we don't care. Even if there is something, it is a political matter, and we women should worry less." Yue Hanyan was actually very worried in her heart.
But she had to calm everyone down, and she was also comforting herself.
Seeing her grandfather and father leave, Feng Tianxing sat quietly in a chair and fell into deep thought.
She was recalling what she saw in her previous life.
In her previous life, her third uncle at this time was not promoted to the position of prefect. He
was still just a county magistrate.
He was not in Ganyang City either, but was transferred to Fengtian City to be a county magistrate, which was a little closer to the capital.
In this life, he had the opportunity to be promoted to prefect because of the rebellion of Prince Lu and the cheating of Duke Zheng in the imperial examination.
Suddenly, Feng Tianxing also remembered the major events that happened this year.
[It's a plague, an unprecedented plague caused by chicken plague.]
Song Shuqing trembled with fear when she heard her daughter's inner voice.
Plague?
What should I do?
Would my third brother also be infected with the plague?
Feng Tianxing continued to recall.
A plague broke out at the border between the Water Dragon Kingdom and the Flame Kingdom.
Yun Ransheng, who was the prince at the time, wrote down methods to fight the epidemic. Although it prevented the further spread of the epidemic, the epidemic came fiercely and quickly, and more than 60,000 people died in the end.
This is just the Flame Kingdom. Two entire cities in the Water Dragon Kingdom were destroyed, becoming two dead cities, and there were even more deaths.
Finally, the cause was found out. The plague originated from chicken plague.
Chicken plague broke out in Shuigan City, the Water Dragon Kingdom, which is close to the Flame Kingdom.
At first, people didn't realize it, and they ate the dead chickens anyway. As a result, they were infected with chicken plague.
The spread was very fast, and the people panicked and fled everywhere.
Some of them fled to the Flame Kingdom, causing an outbreak of plague at the border of the Flame Kingdom.
The anti-epidemic method written by Yun Ransheng at that time was actually strict isolation.
All those who were infected with the disease were gathered together and thrown into the valley, because no doctor could research a cure.
Quicklime was sprayed on all places where people lived, and vinegar was consumed in large quantities.
[Yun Ransheng did a good thing. The method he wrote was more or less useful. Compared with the Water Dragon Kingdom, the loss of the Flame Kingdom was much smaller. ]
[In order to save the lives of those who were not infected with the disease. At that time, General Guan, who was guarding the border, strictly enforced the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and barely controlled the spread of the epidemic. General Guan also made an indelible contribution to this anti-epidemic. ]
[It's a pity that the people suffered and so many people died. As a result, many people were displaced and many orphans were homeless. 】
【However, the impact of this plague on the capital is not great, because Ganyang City is almost two thousand miles away from the capital. 】
Song Shuqing always paid attention to her daughter's voice.
When Feng Tianxing occasionally said something in her heart, Song Shuqing knew the general whole story. She was so scared that her face turned pale.
When Feng Zuwen hurried in and saw his wife's pale face, he was shocked: "Madam. What's wrong?"
"Nothing, are you done with the matter?"
"Well, your husband has something to go to the palace, I will send you and your son back first."
Feng Zuwen immediately sent his wife and daughter home and entered the palace.
