Chapter 240, Can’t Leave
Yan Mansion.
Early in the morning, Zhou Jingwan hurriedly came to find Daohua with a letter.
Daohua took a look at the envelope and immediately laughed, "Why are you showing me the letter your brother wrote home?"
Zhou Jingwan's usual smile disappeared, and she said with a worried look, "My grandfather said that I have to let you know the contents of the letter. Take a look for yourself."
When Daohua saw that her complexion was not good, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly opened the letter and started reading. When she saw that her elder brother had diarrhea for three days, her face changed immediately. After reading that his diarrhea had stopped after taking the medicine she had prepared, she felt relieved.
After Daohua finished reading the letter, Zhou Jingwan grabbed her hand and said, "Daohua, my grandfather, my father, and my mother asked me to say thank you to you. If it weren't for the medicine you prepared this time, my brother..."
When she said this, Zhou Jingwan's eyes began to turn red and her voice choked.
Daohua was also a little scared, but after calming herself down, she quickly comforted him, "My brother and your brother are both fine now, aren't they? Good things will happen to those who are lucky, and nothing will happen to them."
Zhou Jingwan nodded, but the worry on her face did not diminish. "My grandfather said that my brother and the others might have diarrhea because they were infected with something dirty. Maybe it's the plague you mentioned before. They are already preparing a ship and said they will send someone to bring my brother back."
"I came here not only to tell you what's in the letter, but also to ask your family if you want to bring your three brothers back together?"
Daohua frowned and fell into deep thought, then looked at the letter in her hand: "I can't make the decision on this matter."
Zhou Jingwan: "Then go tell your parents quickly. This letter was also written by my servant. My brother was afraid that his family would worry, so he didn't plan to write back. I guess your brother and his family are the same."
Daohua nodded and said, "Lend me the letter first." Then, she started to walk towards the main courtyard. After a few steps, she stopped and asked, "Will Xiao Yeyang and the others come back with us?"
Zhou Jingwan shook her head. "Governor Guo is in charge of disaster relief. He wouldn't let his nephew stay in a dangerous place forever, would he?"
Daohua thought for a moment and then asked, "When does your boat leave?"
Zhou Jingwan: "As soon as possible, either today or tomorrow morning."
Daohua nodded and took the letter to find Mrs. Li.
After reading the letter, Mrs. Li turned pale.
Daohua quickly comforted her, "Mom, big brother is fine now. Please send someone to notify father and ask him to come back so we can discuss whether or not to take big brother and the others back."
Madam Li immediately said, "Go get him, we must get him back." As she spoke, she asked the maid to go to the front yard to call Yan Zhigao.
During this period, Daohua took the time to ask Wang Maner to find Qin Xiaoliu.
Daohua looked at Qin Xiaoliu and asked, "Have you collected all the herbs I asked you to collect?"
Qin Xiaoliu: "I collected some, but the time was too short, so the quantity is not large."
Daohua: "Let's take whatever we have and send it to Xiao Yeyang first." She didn't know whether Xiao Yeyang would come back with her, but Governor Guo was over there and the medicinal herbs would definitely be needed.
Qin Xiaoliu immediately went down to prepare.
At this time, Yan Zhigao hurried back from the provincial government office after receiving the news. After reading the letter, his face became extremely heavy.
As the head of a state, he could think of many problems that the women in the inner court could not imagine through the content of the letter.
plague!
I'm afraid there's a plague in Ji Guang!
Yan Zhigao immediately made the decision: "Go and bring him back immediately."
The eldest son shoulders the responsibility for the prosperity of the family. Over the years, he has placed high hopes on him. Now that he is growing up, nothing can happen to him.
There are also Wenkai and Wentao, both of them are good kids.
Jiguang Province, Xingyun Prefecture.
Zhou Chengye, who had obviously improved after taking the medicine, learned that the servant had written a letter home without his knowledge. Instead of scolding him, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though he hadn't gone out these days, he could clearly feel that people in the city were becoming more and more panicked. More and more people were suffering from diarrhea and abdominal pain, and he heard that people could be seen lying on the ground everywhere on the streets, most of whom were bleeding from noses, had rashes on their skin, and were in a state of confusion.
He doesn't know the ignorant, this is obviously a symptom of the plague.
"Let's go find Wen Xiu and the others."
With the help of the servant, Zhou Chengye came to the courtyard where the three brothers of the Yan family lived.
Yan Wenzheng was just taking a breath in the yard. When he saw Zhou Chengye, he immediately asked, "Why are you here? Don't wander around if you're not well yet."
This illness almost drained his body. The imperial physician said that he had to make up for it, otherwise he would be prone to illness when he got older.
Zhou Chengye is even sicker than him.
"I have something to tell you." Zhou Chengye looked around and found that Yan Wentao and Yan Wenkai were not there. "Where are Wentao and Wenkai?"
Yan Wenxiu asked him to sit down, poured him a cup of tea, and then spoke: "He went out with the young prince."
Zhou Chengye frowned immediately: "Why are they still running out at this time?"
Yan Wenxiu: "There are more and more casualties in the army. The young prince must help Governor Guo collect medicine. Don't worry, the young prince is always accompanied by doctors and guards, and will not let anyone get close to him."
Zhou Chengye nodded and didn't continue the topic: "My servant wrote a letter home."
Hearing this, Yan Wenxiu's expression changed at first, and then he sighed: "Grandma and my parents will be worried again."
In the past two years, the Zhou family and the Yan family have become closer and closer. If the Zhou family knows the situation here, then their family will definitely receive the news as well.
Zhou Chengye: "Yes, it is unfilial to make the elders worry. However, you should be prepared. If my grandfather finds out about the situation here, he will most likely send someone to pick me up. My family will definitely not hide it from yours. I guess your family will also send someone to take you back."
Yan Wenxiu frowned: "Let's leave now, where are the young prince and the others?"
Zhou Chengye was silent for a moment: "Then let's go together."
Yan Wenxiu shook his head: "I'm afraid the young prince won't leave."
"Since your family has sent someone to pick you up, you should go back!"
Just at this time, Xiao Yeyang came back with Yan Wenkai and others.
At this moment, Xiao Yeyang's face was also a little heavy: "You probably know the situation here in Xingyun. The imperial physician said that it is very likely a plague. If I keep you here any longer, it will really be my fault."
Yan Wenkai: "What about you, little prince? Will you come with us?"
Xiao Yeyang smiled and said, "You guys go first, I'll follow. Don't worry, if I want to leave, I can definitely leave at any time."
Yan Wenkai scratched the back of his head and said, "How about this? The boat to pick us up is here. Let Big Brother, Big Brother Zhou, and the weaker ones like Hongxin leave first. I'll stay and help."
Yan Wentao glanced at him and said, "I'm in good health too, so I'll stay too."
Xiao Yeyang was touched that the two were willing to stay with him at this time, and patted their shoulders: "Okay, let's go together, you two can't help much if you stay."
"Gurgle gurgle~"
Suddenly, a muffled groan was heard.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and found several servants holding their stomachs with sweat on their foreheads. One of them couldn't hold it in and vomited on the spot.
"Quick, take them away!"
Defu quickly ordered the guards to take the man away.
Xiao Yeyang quickly said, "Be careful, don't run into them."
When the servants were cleaning up the vomit, Xiao Yeyang and the others looked extremely ugly.
It's simple. These servants have never been out, and they are not from just one courtyard, but from several courtyards.
That evening, other patients began to appear in various courtyards.
Seeing that Qin Shisan also had diarrhea and abdominal pain, Yan Wenkai swallowed hard and said, "The place where we live has been specially examined by the imperial physician. How did he still get infected?"
Yan Wenxiu's face was heavy: "How can a plague be prevented?"
"I want to leave here as soon as possible." After Yan Wenkai said this, his expression suddenly became strange.
Seeing him like this, Yan Wentao immediately asked, "What's wrong with you?"
A thin layer of sweat was visible on Yan Wenkai's forehead. "Where's the medicine? Where's my elder sister's medicine? Give me two pills quickly. I have a stomachache."
Yan Wentao's expression changed and he ran into the room to get the medicine.
Yan Wenxiu quickly supported the man and said, "It's okay, it's okay, you'll be fine after taking the medicine."
