Suddenly there was a bang, and Huo Qiyang pushed the door shut.
They all paused. Huo Qiyang's face became very serious and he asked bluntly, "Are you doctors?"
Even Xu Wenqu choked. Huo Qiyang said calmly, "If there is really a plague in my sister's place, what can you do if you go back? If there is no plague in my sister's place, and you believe the rumors and go back, what have you lost?"
He paused, "Whether it's true or not, it won't help if you go back. That person came here and told you this news just to scare you into a panic and make you fail the palace exam. If my sister knew that you fell into the trap even though you knew it was a trap, she would be very angry... But if my sister knew that you didn't fall into the trap and slapped that person in the face, she would be happy."
He glanced at Tang Shirong and said, "I won't go back. If you're not here, I'll take the first place in the exam for my sister."
He walked away proudly.
The three masters and apprentices looked at each other. Tang Junchen sighed, "Master, we are too concerned."
Tang Shirong clenched his fists.
Doesn't Huo Qiyang care about Tang Shiyue? He probably cares about Tang Shiyue more than anyone else. Dongfeng County means "sister" to him, and only "sister". But even so, he is still very calm.
He said so many words for the first time in his life because he knew that Tang Shiyue would never want to see them go back like this.
...
...
He was right. What Tang Shiyue wanted to see most was that they would not be schemed against by villains, but would get a slap in the face from them.
Although Huo Qiyang is young, he has a firm will and calm and meticulous thinking, which is a hundred times better than him.
Tang Shirong sat down, took a few deep breaths, and his expression gradually became firm: "I'm not going back." He was not a person who would make a promise to take the first place in the case. After a pause, he said: "I'm going back to the study."
Tang Junchen's personality was more easygoing, cheerful, and emotional. He sat there, clenching his fists, his eyes red, and after a long while he said, "Master."
Xu Wenqu sighed: "Yue'er is there, I believe she will be fine, your parents will be fine too." He looked at him: "You decide for yourself, if you feel you can't calm down, then go back."
Tang Junchen hesitated for a long time, but still gritted his teeth and said, "Master, I still want to go back and take a look."
Tang Shiyue must care more about Tang Shirong and Huo Qiyang. Even if he goes back, she won't be too angry. But if he doesn't go back... his parents are there! How can he ignore his parents' life and death!
Xu Wenqu nodded: "Then let's go back."
Tang Junchen responded respectfully and asked them to pack their luggage and leave overnight.
Watching the carriage rolling away, Lu Cang, who was hiding in the dark, came out.
He was overjoyed that his evil plan had succeeded.
Although he repeatedly told others that he would pass the provincial examination, in fact, only he knew that he was already feeling insecure. He seemed to have realized that it was impossible for him to pass the provincial examination.
If he would remain a scholar in his entire life, then... he hoped to pull a few more people into the fold, especially Xu Wenqu's disciples.
He wouldn't give them the chance to step on him.
Xu Wenqu was sitting silently in the room at this time.
Since he wasn't taking the provincial examination, it would have been fine for him to leave. However, Tang Junchen's words, "worrying too much will lead to confusion," inexplicably made his heart skip a beat.
Before, he just felt a little regretful, and when his mother talked about it, he could even treat it as a joke with a relaxed look.
But at this moment, he was really frightened.
Didn't he understand what Huo Qiyang said? Of course he did, but he was still "confused because of his concern".
One wrong step leads to another. We can never go forward.
Xu Wenqu put his hand to his forehead and sighed.
Now that things have come to this, there is no point in thinking too much. How can everything in the world go as planned?
Now the only thing he could do was to give her a first place in the case to make her happy.
He stood up and went to the study.
In Dongfeng County, Tang Junchen came back and really made Tang Shiyue angry for a while.
But after all, this is someone else's child, and his parents are trapped in the epidemic area. If he doesn't come back, he might be accused of being unfilial. So Tang Shiyue said nothing.
And it's not just Tang Junchen.
Even Han Yi rode back as fast as he could after hearing the news. When they met, he got off his horse and fell to the ground. He was so tired that he couldn't even utter a word. He just looked at her and smiled.
Knowing that she was fine, she pressed her to get the smallpox vaccination, and then he turned back to take back the wool and cashmere that were moving slowly.
When His Royal Highness the Crown Prince arrived in Dongfeng County, the 10,000-person vaccination conference was nearing its end.
There were about three to four hundred people in the field at this time. In addition to those queuing up for vaccinations and physical examinations, there were also many people who came to help and watch the fun.
County Magistrate Lin was speaking hoarsely as he told everyone over and over again that Jishidiang would keep the smallpox vaccines in case people came to get vaccinated at any time, and if anyone was found to have failed the vaccination, they could get a booster shot in time.
It is truly commendable for a county official to be able to achieve this level.
There were people nearby who persuaded him and said they could speak for him, and then these people really ran back and forth shouting and passed the message on.
The prince neither deployed his troops and advanced in a dignified manner, nor did he conceal his identity and advance quietly.
He waited until almost everyone had been vaccinated, then he stepped forward and held out his arm, saying, "I'll come too."
The imperial physician raised his head and immediately knelt down: "Your Highness!"
The prince held out his hand and helped him up.
At this time, Magistrate Lin and the others who had reacted also knelt down. The prince reached out and helped Magistrate Lin up: "No need to be polite, everyone stand up. I came here by the emperor's order to help everyone through the difficult times. I am late."
County Magistrate Lin's eyes were red, and he choked up and said, "It's not too late for Your Highness to come. Your Highness's coming will put the people's hearts at ease. Your humble servant... Your humble servant is grateful..." He shed tears and fell to the ground, shouting, "Long live the emperor."
Everyone followed suit and shouted "Long live the emperor".
This appearance is just right.
In fact, judging from the reactions of the people in Jubao Village, the matter is already 80% certain, and everyone has made up their minds. We just need to wait and see the final result.
The prince then visited the people, summoned doctors, and even went to see the patients who had been isolated. After a series of political work, the people were grateful and moved.
In addition, Meng Yiqiu had laid the groundwork before, so when the prince came, he only needed to give a small push to resolve the matter perfectly.
The prince was busy until the evening. He drank a sip of tea and asked, "Where is Yue?"
County Magistrate Lin was stunned for a moment before he reacted: "Tang Shiyue?" He did not dare to ask why the prince called her so intimately, and only said: "She brought people to the back hall and said she wanted to make a tabloid."
The prince motioned for him to lead the way and asked, "Tabloid?"
Magistrate Lin lowered his head and reported carefully, "Because I want to let the people know some things, firstly to avoid panic, and secondly so that they can check and save themselves if there is an accident... Originally, I arranged some people to preach on the side, but every day they come new people, and they can't remember it after one or two times, and the people who preach have become hoarse."
He paused and said, "So, Tang Shiyue said, let's imitate the court's official bulletin and make a tabloid... and spread the news every day."
The prince frowned slightly: "There shouldn't be many people who can read among the people, right?"
"There is a picture!" County Magistrate Lin blurted out, but quickly changed his words: "Your Highness, there is a picture."
The prince said, "No need to be polite."
As he was talking, he arrived at the back hall of the county government office. Before he even entered the door, he heard Tang Shiyue arguing with someone: "No! You have to be more imposing! Look at the word 'report' you wrote. You always lift one foot. It's so ugly!"
Lifting one foot...this description is really "Tang Shiyue".
The prince smiled slightly and stepped in. He saw the young lady holding a piece of paper with her back to him, comparing with Meng Yiqiu: "I want that feeling..." She opened her arms and raised her feet, making a take-off gesture: "That's the feeling, do you understand?"
The prince smiled and replied, "I understand."
