Chapter 35 Sister
Seeing her husband like this, Song Xirong hurried over. When she saw the letter, she was also frightened.
There was a plague in the city a few days ago.
Although the epidemic was brought under control in time, many people were still infected.
Except for the doctors and medicine boys from several clinics, all the military doctors in the barracks were sent out by Mrs. Huo.
But there are still far from enough medical staff.
Mrs. Huo organized a group of brave and healthy women to prepare medicine for the patients.
Jun Shuwan also wanted to go, but was rejected by Mrs. Huo.
Although I was just boiling medicine and didn't have to come into contact with patients, there was still a risk of infection. How could it be as safe as hiding in the general's mansion?
As a result, the little girl was very brave.
There were not enough people to look after the patients, and Mrs. Huo was worried every day. Jun Shuwan found Mrs. Huo and volunteered to take care of the patients.
It was even more impossible for Mrs. Huo to agree. If anything happened to Jun Shuwan, they would probably not be able to use the textile machines that were already in use, as well as the alcohol and various epidemic prevention methods.
But Jun Shuwan was a clever girl. She changed her clothes and secretly left the general's mansion through the side yard with the women who were making medicine, and then secretly went to the most dangerous hospital camp.
Yes, sick camp.
Once sick people are found, no matter if they are officials, wealthy businessmen, ordinary citizens, or hooligans, they will all be sent to one place for isolation and treatment.
It is also to save medical resources as much as possible.
After all, we all have the same plague and can take the same medicine.
We just need to distinguish between mild and severe cases.
It is also to reduce the phenomenon of human-to-human transmission.
This method is not very scientific in modern times, but it is much more convenient for the border town's anti-epidemic work.
There were many patients and people, and there were soldiers to maintain order, so it was called a sick camp.
Women who only need to decoct complicated medicines do not need to come into contact with patients. As long as they do a good job of disinfection and protection, they can return to the side courtyard of the general's mansion that is specially vacated for their accommodation every day.
But anyone who enters the sick camp cannot come out again unless the epidemic is completely cured.
When Mrs. Huo found out, she was extremely anxious, but this plague was no joke, and her father had also issued a military order.
Yes, all the rules and regulations for epidemic control this time were issued by military order, and those who violated the order will be dealt with by military law.
As the general's wife, she naturally could not break this exception, otherwise the military order would be like a joke.
But Jun Shuwan also left a letter for Mrs. Huo, telling her not to take her back, as she had her own plans.
Thus, among the medical staff of the hospital camp, which consisted of male doctors and pharmacists, there was a bright spot, Jun Shuwan.
He works hard every day without complaint, and never complains about fear or hardship.
It's not that she doesn't value her life, nor is it that she is so unscrupulous just because she has the medicine her brother sent her.
Jun Yu once said that his daughter is actually a very thoughtful daughter.
That's true.
On the first night in the general's mansion, Jun Shuwan was thinking about a problem.
In the past, in the capital, she was a princess and had a brother who was the prince. Everyone with a discerning eye knew that once her brother ascended the throne, her princess status would rise even higher, so naturally everyone respected her.
She has also been Princess Anle for fifteen years.
But when she was exiled, she could only rely on her father and brother to protect her.
Later, she settled down in the border town. At the beginning, she was not used to everything. But as long as she thought about her family being together and her parents and brothers working hard to live a good life, she gradually got used to it.
Start to integrate into this place.
It was not until she was stared at and insulted by the village girl's fiancé that she truly realized that she was just a common girl.
No, she was even worse than a commoner girl because she was exiled.
With her parents and brother protecting her at home, those people didn't dare to scold her in person. At most, she would hide at home, embroidering and reading.
But this border town is really too chaotic.
In their village, which is close to the border town, they often hear that families have been robbed when they go out.
It was impossible for her parents and brother to keep her by their side and protect her all the time, so they planned to send her to the general's mansion.
Working as a tea maid in the general's mansion, with Mrs. Huo's protection and her brother's advice, she didn't even have to do much work.
On the first night at the general's mansion, she covered her head and thought all night long.
Does she really need to be protected all the time?
Look at Madam Huo, she is also a woman. Putting aside her identity as a general's wife, she is still the eldest lady of the Ruan family, praised by everyone in the border town.
Before marrying General Huo, Mrs. Huo already enjoyed considerable prestige in the border town.
Once you walk out the door, even without guards around you, no villain would dare to approach you.
She certainly didn't dare compare herself with Mrs. Huo.
But I also figured out a truth.
The only way is to stand up for yourself.
Her parents and brother didn't mind keeping her in a cozy nest forever, and they might have made some other plans for her these days, but she also wanted to be able to shelter her family from the storm someday.
This behavior was indeed a bit risky, but she had her brother's medicine, had taken comprehensive protective measures, and had carefully disinfected every day, and she had always been in good health.
Jun Shuwan knew that this matter could not be hidden from her parents, and it would be known sooner or later.
So he simply wrote the letter himself, explaining the reasons and giving a clear account of everything. Of course, there was a suspicion that he downplayed the tragic situation in the plague camp and exaggerated the medicine his brother brought back.
It’s also to reassure my parents.
But how could Jun Yu and Song Xirong feel at ease?
Jun Shuwan has been their baby since she was young.
If it wasn't necessary, why would I send her away?
The outcome of this epidemic is much better than those we have heard of in the past, but thousands of people still died.
According to Jun Qiulan's epidemic prevention plan, all bodies that died of the disease were burned together.
The migrant workers who were previously trapped in the city have finally returned. They said that the firewood needed for burning is several large carts every day.
This sounds scary.
Jun Yu sighed, "Fortunately, Wan'er is fine."
Song Xirong was almost crying, "Didn't they say that a new prefect will be appointed soon? Is Lan'er ready to build a house? Let's bring Wan'er back."
Jun Yu shook his head. "Wan'er has grown up and has experienced so much. She has her own values and ideas."
He put his arm around his wife's shoulders and said, "Although Wan'er took some risks this time, she has earned the respect of all the officers and soldiers. This is something she earned for herself. She may want to grow into a towering tree more than rely on our protection."
Song Xirong wiped the corners of her eyes. "But she's a girl. When she's at home, you and Lan'er can protect her from the wind and rain. Even when she goes out, you and Lan'er are her backers. Why should she work so hard?"
Jun Yu smiled and said, "Madam, I mean, if Lan'er and I can't go out to make money, and Wan'er is also unable to go out, what will you do?"
"Of course I have to find a way to make money and support the family."
After saying that, she paused.
Jun Yu smiled. "Madam, you see, you also want to be the support of the three of us, father and son. My daughter's current thoughts are no different from yours, but they are a bit extreme. When she comes back, we will have a good talk with her. She wants to grow up on her own. If she has any ideas, I and Lan'er will think of a way for her to make this path easier for her."
If Wan'er is frustrated and tired one day, she can still find them waiting for her and embracing her when she returns home.
Instead of blocking Wan'er's path from the very beginning.
Song Xirong sighed, "I haven't read as many books as you, so I can't argue with you."
But she also knew that her husband's words made sense.
They cannot stay with Wan'er all the time to protect her, and Wan'er cannot be a maid in the general's mansion forever.
She wants to make a name for herself, and as her parents, we should support her.
Seeing that his wife's mood had calmed down a lot, Jun Yu said, "Let's show it to Lan'er when she comes back today. I guess we have to write a letter back to this little girl first, otherwise she might not dare to go home."
Jun Qiulan is still filming his last scene in Strategy of a Bastard today.
I even chose a misty day and waited for it to clear up in the afternoon.
For this purpose, I came to Qingfeng Mountain specifically to find a Feng Shui treasure land.
Jun Qiulan and Qu Feng brought their small stools and sat under the big umbrella.
There are other actors in the crew, but Jun Qiulan doesn’t have many scenes with them.
We occasionally met on the set, and we were just acquaintances. This was the treatment we received after he became famous on the Internet.
He and Qu Feng have many rival scenes and they have always gotten along well.
"I have a solo scene today. Why did you have to come here on such a rainy day?"
When two people get to know each other better, they talk more casually.
Qu Feng stretched out his legs and said, "I don't have any scenes today anyway, and you're almost done filming, so I came over to take a look."
In fact, he was in a very complicated mood.
Because Jun Qiulan's progress is so fast.
At the beginning, it was because Jun Qiulan's temperament and appearance were very suitable for the role of Master Qiwu, but he still lacked acting skills.
The worst thing is the crew's lack of common sense of shooting details.
But Jun Qiulan used to be an extra and hadn't even been in the industry for very long, so it's understandable.
But now Jun Qiulan is a mature actor, and he has grasped the role of Master Qiwu very well.
The progress is too fast.
It is nonsense to say that Jun Qiulan is still working as an extra and improving his acting skills after taking on this role.
There is nothing wrong with still being an extra. It’s because he has kept his original intention and knows what he wants.
But can being an extra improve your acting skills?
In that fleeting shot, even the face was unclear, what kind of acting skills were required?
After all, it was Jun Qiulan himself who was willing to spend time and effort on research in private.
Qu Feng patted Jun Qiulan's shoulder with a condescending air and said, "Maybe you were born to do this."
Jun Qiulan smiled and said, "Then I'll take Brother Feng's blessing. I hope we can have a chance to act together in the future."
"That's a must. Leave it to me."
After all, he has been in the industry for several years and has many representative works. As long as he doesn't make trouble, there will be no problem for him to develop steadily in this industry.
If there is a drama that wants him to be the leading actor in the future, he will mention Jun Qiulan appropriately. He won’t say anything big like just stuffing her into the crew, but there will be no problem giving Jun Qiulan a chance to audition.
Jun Qiulan smiled, "Thank you in advance, Brother Feng."
"Hey, isn't this a prop piano? What are you holding it for?"
Jun Qiulan said, "I'm going to use it later, let me try it out first."
He played a few notes with clang clang clang.
Qu Feng quickly covered his ears and said, "Come on, just pretend. You don't have to make any noise. It's all dubbing in post-production anyway. Just focus on controlling your emotions."
Jun Qiulan smiled again and slightly adjusted the pitch of the strings.
Qu Feng couldn't play the guqin, so he didn't understand. "By the way, have you finished filming the scenes with the double?"
Jun Qiulan nodded, "It was originally filmed in one day, and we added two more scenes later."
Of course, I was paid an additional three thousand yuan for the two additional scenes.
It's really easy to make money from this job.
I thought I would give Yan Jing another painting or calligraphy when I have the chance in the future.
Yan Jing didn't seem to be short of money. People might not appreciate the gifts he bought for them, and he couldn't afford expensive ones. The only thing he could show off now was the calligraphy and painting he had practiced since childhood.
Qu Feng was gossiping again, "Have you seen Fu Xiao? Did you see his hands? Hehehe, is it really not good-looking?"
Jun Qiulan couldn't help laughing, "I've never seen that before. The handstand shots were all shot individually."
However, because so many people were saying that this person's hands were ugly, he checked it out online. Well... how should I put it, they really weren't that good-looking.
And compared with his handsome appearance, this is even more abrupt.
Qu Feng continued, "You and Yan Jing know each other, right? There were rumors online that they were a couple. Do you have any gossip to share with me? Don't worry, I won't tell anyone. I'm just curious."
Jun Qiulan was surprised: "But, but they are all men."
"What's the big deal? It's a new era." Qu Feng didn't take it seriously and continued, "Judging from the way you look, you probably don't know. Oh, I asked the wrong person. You probably haven't figured it out yet. So, can you Taoists fall in love and get married?"
This topic is really off the mark.
Taoism is also divided into several factions. People in Master Qingheng's faction can get married, but it seems that no one has the intention to do so.
Jun Qiulan has even less.
Not to mention the issue of gender, he is floating between two worlds, so where can he find a suitable partner?
Maybe it was because it was raining and it was too boring, and no one knew when the sun would come out, so Qu Feng pulled Jun Qiulan to chat about this and that.
Director Chen has arranged everything for the scene, "Now we just have to wait for the sun to come out after the rain."
Of course, you can use special effects directly, but these special effects are also expensive, so if you can use real scenes, then use real scenes.
We just need to deal with the cable car and ropeway over there later.
In the past, this city had no sense of existence and was underdeveloped, and the mountains had not been developed. The natural environment was very good, and it was also a suitable place for Master Qiwu to retire after he had avenged his great hatred.
Director Chen sighed, "I hope it's sunny today, otherwise we'll waste a whole day."
Qu Feng said, "Actually, the mood on a rainy day is quite nice. A great revenge has been achieved, and it feels so refreshing. Playing the piano is both a way to remember my family and to vent."
"The logic is sound, but the overall feeling is still a bit depressing. A clear sky after the rain is more in line with the mood of the story of Master Qiwu."
Jun Qiulan looked up at the sky and said, "It should be clear soon."
The weather forecast in this era is also amazing.
Perhaps it was because Jun Qiulan's mouth was blessed, because just after he finished saying this, less than ten minutes later, the weather cleared up.
"Hurry, hurry, get ready." Director Chen called the staff who were hiding from the rain to move, "Try to get through in one shot."
The props are all set up and Jun Qiulan's makeup is also ready.
Start filming.
The dark clouds gradually dissipated, and the sky became a clear blue.
Forest, white clouds, birds singing.
There was also a young man from Moshang playing the piano on the cliff.
The picture can be as beautiful as it wants.
Jun Qiulan was in the right mood, and his fingers fell on the strings, plucking them gently.
Director Chen's eyes lit up. This kid really put in a lot of effort. But after a few breaths passed, he realized that Jun Qiulan was not just playing casually, but was really playing a song.
I haven't heard this song before, it's quite nice.
It just seems a bit too heavy. Shouldn't we be happy that our great revenge has been achieved?
As the filming continued, Jun Qiulan's emotions were expressed in his eyes, and the sound of the piano in his hands also changed.
Just then a ray of sunlight fell on him, and the sound of the piano became cheerful.
It perfectly fits the character of Master Qiwu.
Director Chen had previously thought that using the interlude as the background music would be enough to match the scene.
But now he felt that Jun Qiulan's piano playing was even more beautiful.
Oh no.
Originally, I just wanted Jun Qiulan to act for show, and there were no lines, so I didn't prepare any recording equipment.
Director Chen slapped his thigh and exclaimed what a pity.
When the piano music ended, a relieved smile appeared on Master Qiwu's lips.
"Okay, the filming is over." Director Chen had someone deliver the flowers that had been prepared in advance. "Master Qiwu has finished filming today."
Qu Feng: "Congratulations on wrapping up the filming. I hope you have a bright future."
Applause broke out on the set.
It was the first time that Jun Qiulan faced such a scene, and he couldn't help but feel a little moved. He performed an ancient ritual towards everyone.
"Thank you all for your care during these days."
Director Chen laughed, "You haven't come out of the play yet? You didn't say you could play the guqin before."
Jun Qiulan smiled sheepishly, "I only know a little bit, so I don't dare to show off."
Director Chen wasn't a professional, but he just thought the piano sounded nice. "Here's the thing, I want to discuss something with you. Can we play the piano together again some other day? I'll play the piece we played today, and I plan to use it directly in the play. By the way, what's the name of this piece? I've never heard it before."
Jun Qiulan didn't know how to answer. He just thought that it would be better to actually play a song that fits the mood instead of just pretending to play the piano, which would also better bring out the emotions of his character.
I never thought that Director Chen would use this song.
The song was a Dasheng song, and he didn't know if it existed in this world. He only reported the name of the song and said it was an ancient song, but the specific author was unknown.
Director Chen didn't think much of it. "Okay, I'll make an appointment with you to play the piano another day. If we finish work early tomorrow, let's have dinner together to celebrate your completion. Teacher Ji Hong will also be there."
We should have eaten today to celebrate the completion of filming, but Director Chen has a few scenes to direct later, so we can only make an appointment for another day.
Of course Jun Qiulan agreed.
Qu Feng shook his phone and said, "Don't stop contacting me after you leave the crew. Remember what I told you before."
Jun Qiulan couldn't help laughing, knowing that Qu Feng was talking about the issue of signing a contract with their company.
"I'll think about it."
This is the only scene on the mountain. When they packed up and went down the mountain, Jun Qiulan also came to help.
Qu Feng came closer again and asked, "By the way, was your previous Taoist temple on this mountain?"
Jun Qiulan nodded, "We still need to climb up for about two or three hours, to the Qingfeng Temple."
Qu Feng originally wanted to go and take a look, but when he heard that it would take another two or three hours to climb, he immediately gave up the idea.
"Has this cable car been repaired? I don't know if it's open yet. After we finish filming, let's take the cable car up."
Jun Qiulan looked at the long cableway and was impressed by the powerful technology in this world.
He had experienced it a few days ago, and sent Kiki and the Shanghai young woman to Master Qingheng.
The old man was also in a playful mood and followed us down the mountain to play for the whole afternoon.
It is mainly for testing purposes and is not yet open to tourists. Only Taoist priests and relevant staff can use it.
It's free.
Jun Qiulan thought that it would indeed be more convenient to go up the mountain in the future.
The scenes of "Strategies of a Bastard" were completely over, and Jun Qiulan had already received his salary before he even reached his doorstep.
He counted the numbers on the balance and was happy for a while.
Now that he had no big items to buy, he didn't know how to spend the money, so he simply went back to the supermarket and bought some daily necessities for his home.
Now you don't have to pick the cheapest products.
Having money in your pocket gives you confidence.
The quality of rice has also improved a lot. I switched from bulk rice to bagged rice some time ago. This time I bought some more expensive long-grain fragrant rice.
He picked out some meat, eggs, milk, vegetables and fruits and bought some.
Buy the expensive one!
The couple was surprised and amazed after bringing back a lot of supplies.
Who would have thought that when they first arrived at the border town, they had to eat two kilograms of rice over several days.
This opportunity for Jun Qiulan really came at the right time.
"Okay, Mom and Dad, let's put it back in the cellar."
Because of the books they bought some time ago, the father and son decided to dig a cellar.
The entrance was not outside, but in the couple's room.
The father and son dug them secretly at night, and Jun Qiulan also bought waterproof and moisture-proof mats from Modern.
The place is not big, just enough for a desk and a cabinet.
There is a desk lamp, so you don’t have to worry about lighting.
The things I brought back from there no longer need to be hidden under the bed; they can all be put in the cellar.
"Oh, this is the letter your sister sent back." Song Xirong sighed, "As her brother, you have to talk to her. Even if you want to make a name for yourself, don't be too radical. Mother can't bear it."
When the city was lifted from lockdown, Jun Qiulan guessed that his younger sister would be back soon.
In the end, the person didn't come back, but the letter he sent back made his parents happy and sad.
Only after reading the letter did he understand.
I instinctively felt sorry for my little sister, but at the same time I felt proud.
Having seen many independent women in the other world, he didn't think there was anything wrong with his younger sister's idea.
Just wait for my younger sister to come home, listen to her ideas, and then make plans.
However, they didn't wait for Jun Shuwan to come home first.
My cousin Song Ting, whom I have been talking about for a long time, has finally arrived at the border town.
To be precise, it had been some time since they arrived. Due to the epidemic, they were unable to enter the city, and they didn't know which village their family lived in, so they could only sleep outside the city for a while.
I went to the government office to inquire today and finally found my home.
