Chapter 240 Shen Yuan, did you have a fiancée before?
Su Wanwan was a little worried and immediately shook her head:
"It's okay, sister-in-law, go back quickly."
Wang Cui'e limped along, following closely behind, and also walked out of the crowd.
Viewed from a distance, the old lady's posture and steps were much more vigorous than Wang Cui'e's. Wang Cui'e was obviously a young person, but she hunched over like an old lady.
This is being bent over by life.
Perhaps everyone was thinking of this, and after looking at it for a while, their eyes suddenly became red at the same time.
"Alas, without the coward, Wang Cui'e's life will be even more difficult."
"That's right, we are all women, why should we make things difficult for women?"
.......
Patriarch He also sighed softly:
"Let's all go back. Go and take care of the coward's funeral. Don't come out unless necessary. If they get infected with the plague, all the children in the village will be in danger."
When this was mentioned, everyone immediately became worried and left in a hurry.
"Wanwan, you should go back quickly too. Keep an eye on them and don't come out. I have to go back quickly."
Zhang Cuihua covered her mouth and nose, stood far away, said hello and was about to leave.
Su Wanwan nodded and said:
"Aunt, make sure to give the two children the white pills in the morning. It works."
Zhang Cuihua nodded:
"Okay, I get it. I think Fengnian is better now, but Datao is in a bad condition. I'll give Datao a piece of the cake when we get back."
The bustle at the door suddenly returned to silence. Su Wanwan quickly brought the children in, disinfected everything again, and fumigated the yard with artemisia annua and mugwort.
Shen Yuan and Li Zheng just came back in the evening.
There were some herbs loaded on the ox cart, and the two men looked relatively relaxed.
"Let's boil these medicines tomorrow morning, and everyone in our village can drink some."
Liu Daping said something and left quickly without staying any longer.
The children had already fallen asleep. Su Wanwan left some food for Shen Yuan and immediately heated it up. Shen Yuan then sat in the kitchen and started eating.
Su Wanwan sat beside him to keep him company.
"The plague in the county is quite serious, but there is still medicine?"
Su Wanwan thought about the medicines on the ox cart. Logically speaking, the court's support would not arrive so quickly as the plague had just broken out. Regardless of whether there was a special prescription or not, medicine was in short supply at this time.
"The court's support has arrived. Not only are there imperial doctors, but they also sent a lot of medicine."
Speaking of this, Shen Yuan paused while eating, and it was obvious that he was also very confused.
As soon as the plague broke out, the imperial physician arrived, as if the court had known that there would be a plague during this period.
Su Wanwan was also stunned. It would take at least twenty days to get here from the capital. The news of the plague reached the court, and the court took immediate action. It took at least a month for the rescue workers to arrive.
this......
"The court had predicted the plague in advance?"
It's incredible.
The weather forecast by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory is accurate, which is acceptable.
In fact, forecasting the weather is also incredible to Su Wanwan.
Even with modern high technology, weather forecasts for the next ten days or so are still often inaccurate.
However, this time the imperial court ordered Tongxu County to detain the refugees until the end of June, and no matter how the magistrate of Xu County reported it, he refused to give in. It was obvious that he had predicted that it would rain at the end of June.
Now we are deploying epidemic prevention in advance...
"There must be someone powerful in the court."
Su Wanwan couldn't help but sigh. It was already miraculous that she could travel through time. Wouldn't it be strange if there really were people like immortals who could predict the future?
Shen Yuan took a bite of the cake and nodded:
"Maybe. In any case, this is a good thing. However, there is no universal prescription. Although the epidemic has not developed very rapidly, it will still take some time to fully control it."
The most important thing is that there is no prescription. Fortunately, there are medicines to prevent plague. Although it cannot prevent it 100%, it always has some effect.
"It's okay. We have already given those prescriptions to Magistrate Xu. We also have the imperial physicians in the palace. I believe the epidemic will be under control soon."
Su Wanwan comforted him by saying that there has never been an effective prescription for this kind of malaria. Chinese medicine emphasizes that each person has a different prescription. Even in modern times, when encountering a plague,...
Just like SARS, it was not eliminated by humans in the end.
For example, the new coronavirus that later emerged eventually led to universal immunity.
Plague requires time, and of course, it will also come at a price.
"Well, it's a good opportunity for us to take a break and recuperate. I'll get those bamboo poles ready."
Shen Yuan didn't think much about it. Su Wanwan told him about He Erzhu's family. When Shen Yuan heard that the old lady dared to cause trouble, he frowned slightly.
Su Wanwan immediately held his hand:
"Don't be angry, I'm fine. That old lady can't get any advantage from me. Also, don't interfere. It's all in the past, and she didn't get any advantage. It's not gentlemanly of you to teach an old lady whose grandson just died a lesson."
Su Wanwan knew Shen Yuan's character very well, and was really afraid that he would take revenge at night, so she nipped his thoughts in the bud.
Shen Yuan ate the last bite of the biscuit, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly:
"I'm not a gentleman, but since my wife has said so, I'll let her go for now."
Su Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief. Shen Yuan thought for a moment and said:
"One more thing, do you remember the lady I met in the restaurant in town a few days ago?"
How could Su Wanwan not remember it? That was the first lady from an ancient family she met, and she was very grand.
"I remember. What's wrong? Do you know her?"
Shen Yuan had finished his meal and stood up to scoop some water from outside to wash the pots and bowls.
"She is from the capital, the second daughter of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion."
Su Wanwan:......
Wow, it has a very important background, the Duke of Zhenguo’s Mansion, it sounds very prestigious.
No, why did Shen Yuan suddenly mention her?
"Don't tell me she's your fiancée, Shen Yuan. Tell me the truth. When you were in the capital, did you have any engagement or anything like that?"
Su Wanwan frowned.
She never asked him that question.
He is a great general, and he also comes from the capital, so he must be from a prominent family.
Generally, such big families would have intermarriages, and he might be engaged.
She is very familiar with this routine.
The reason why she didn't ask before was that she felt that if she liked him, then she liked him. As long as Shen Yuan liked her too, nothing else mattered.
Well, if there really is an engagement, it would be quite troublesome to deal with.
Shen Yuan had already cleaned up the kitchen and washed his hands. Upon hearing her words, he immediately stepped forward and tapped her head with his finger.
"No, I followed my grandfather to the battlefield when I was eight years old. How could I have a marriage contract? What do you think about every day? How dare you think about it?"
Su Wanwan rubbed her forehead and said unhappily:
"It's written like this in the novels, oh, it's the storybooks. It's best if there's no such thing. If there is, please explain it sooner so that I can step down and let others take over."
Su Wanwan felt that tapping his forehead was too difficult, so she poked his heart with her finger, but he grabbed her with one hand and gently pulled her into his arms.
