C8 A Sudden Plague

Outside the door, Liang Yuan stood quietly. He was filled with doubts. Although the Wen Family wasn't rich, they weren't rich enough to use a carriage. Why was there a carriage parked at the door today?

The door was opened. Madame Wai, who was full of joy and anger, saw Liang Yuan's expression change instantly. She was puzzled for a moment and quickly invited Liang Yuan in.

Liang Yuan walked into the yard and saw Jinniang and Xu Yunhee, who were shy and timid in the room. He instantly understood the cause and effect. His heart was a little upset. He said without showing any emotion on his face, "It seems like I was lucky today. I actually caught up to the wedding ceremony of the two families."

Wen Quan and his father quickly got up to greet them and wanted to kneel down. Liang Yuan helped them up one by one and said, "There is no need to be so polite. Today is a great day for the two of you. It is time for me to bow to you.

Wen Quan, on the other hand, was a straightforward person. He laughed and said, "It was a coincidence that County Magistrate came. My two families are getting married. Master, how about you be a matchmaker for us?"

Liang Yuan glanced at Jinniang secretly. There was no expression of dislike on his face. His heart also dimmed a little. He said, "It is my honor."

In the Qingshan County County Court, Liang Yuan was sitting quietly reading a book. Lvhzhu quietly came in and called out, "Sir, no one responded." He walked in a little and suddenly shouted. Liang Yuan instantly came back to his senses. He said indifferently. "What are you shouting for? I can hear you!"

Lvhzhu covered his mouth and laughed. "Master, you took the book and said you were not lost in thought."

Liang Yuan looked a little unnatural, but he quickly adjusted himself and asked calmly, "Lvhzhu, Do you know that? Who is this Xu Yunhee?"

"I know he is a High Scholar!" Lvhzhu was hit in the head by a book.

"I know he is a High Scholar," Lvhzhu said. It's just that it's reasonable to say that a High Scholar should be very popular in Qingshan County. Moreover, this man is handsome and dignified. Why hasn't he gotten married at the age of twenty-four?"

"Master, you are worrying too much. You have to worry about fighting and fighting. You have to worry about robbery and murder. Now, you have even started to take care of married people. " Aren't you afraid that you will die of fatigue? "

"What do you know? Miss Wen is a good girl. She has helped me so much. It is fine if she is not good enough for the first time. But for the second time looking for a son-in-law, if I can help, I will try my best to help." Liang Yuan said calmly.

"Master is more concerned about Miss Wen's matters than his own. You are also a man of twenty years old and have not married a wife. Why don't you care about yourself?" Lvhzhu rolled his eyes. His tone was full of accusations against Liang Yuan.

Liang Yuan walked down the stairs and looked at Lvhzhu with interest. "I think you've been by my side for a long time. You've already had a long speech, and you're already able to find an adult. It looks like I'll have to find someone who's full of experience in finding a wife for you in the future to be worthy of you!"

Lvhzhu was a little weak in his anger. He looked timidly at Liang Yuan and said, "I didn't mean that!"

"My lord, it's bad. Someone died in the north of the city, and several doctors have seen it. They said it was a plague." A man who looked like a bailiff came in from outside the door. He looked like he was crying.

Liang Yuan's heart sank. He said in a low voice, "Lead the way. I will go and take a look."

"Sir, bring your protective gear. The Matriarch told you not to do anything when you came!" Lvhzhu's shout was thrown to the back of Liang Yuan's mind. His mind was now filled with plague. He knew better than anyone what these two words represented.

The people who lived in the north of Qingshan County City were all poor people. The one who died was called Wang Wu. He was a driver. Two days ago, he had made a trip to the Chengdu Prefecture. He had just returned and was already ill. He thought it was just a small cold, but he didn't expect that after a few days, he would die of illness today.

Wang Wu's wife was an average-looking woman. There were two children, one male and one female. One was ten years old, and the other was eight years old. The three of them laid on Wang Wu's body and cried out loudly. No matter who tried to persuade them, they wouldn't listen.

Liang Yuan rushed over. He glanced at Wang Wu and went to discuss with the doctors beside him. After confirming that it was indeed a plague, his expression became serious.

He called over the magistrate office secretary and said, "Now, write a letter and record what we saw and heard. Pass the letter along the way to the county residence that Wang Wu passed by. Especially to the Chengdu residence, you must deliver the letter as soon as possible."

After arranging the letter properly, he continued, "Prepare a quarantine area. Place the people who have come into contact with Wang Wu in the quarantine area to observe. Those in the north are not allowed to move unless there is something special. Put up a notice and warn everyone to stay at home. If you find any abnormalities around you, you must inform the magistrate office immediately."

After saying that, Liang Yuan turned around and clasped his hands to the doctors. "I hope that you will have a hard time these few days. The future of Qingshan County will depend on you."

The doctors saw how modest Liang Yuan was and how orderly he did things. They calmed down a little and said, "Master, don't worry. We have been in Qingshan County for a lifetime. Qingshan County is our family. There is no reason for us not to try our best."

After dealing with these matters, they returned to the county magistrate office. It was late at night. Liang Yuan was exhausted and he slept with his clothes on.

In the small courtyard of Wen Family, there were a few women sitting around. They were talking about Jinniang's good fortune. She had just left the Elementary Scholar realm and found a person in the blink of an eye. Jinniang listened to the jealous words and did not say anything.

The original Wen Jinniang was an illiterate and timid person. Other than embroidery, she cooked all day long. After Jinniang transmigrated, I wonder if I can learn my original embroidery skills. She was not born to be embroidered, so she could not see the shape of the mandarin ducks and mandarin ducks. The embroidered flowers were like weeds. Madame Wai looked at them. She did not ask her to be embroidered anymore. She just had to obediently wait for the marriage.

Outside the door, Old Man Wen came back with a dejected look. The few women saw that the situation was not right and left one after another.

"His father. What's going on now?" Madame Wai walked over with a wave of her hand. Bright cherries filled the table.

Wen Quan picked up the cherries on the table and stuffed them into his mouth. Unexpectedly, it was sour. He grimaced and spat it out. He said, "Even a cherry is against me. Today, someone died in the county town. Hearing that it was a plague, County Magistrate had isolated the north of the city. We were going to the prefecture, but County Magistrate gave the order. We can't go there either. The cooked duck flew away just like that. What bad luck. "

"Hey, what do you think I'm doing? Isn't it just a dart trip? If it's gone, then it's gone. " You can still stay at home for a few more days. What's wrong with that? "

"Her hair is long and her knowledge is short. If she manages to succeed this time, then Jinniang's dowry will be hers. Our daughter has been divorced and that Xu Yunhee is also a High Scholar. It's hard to guarantee that he won't be bullied if he marries her. Let's put some more effort into the dowry and at least support Jinniang."

A warm feeling surged into Jinniang's heart. This feeling of having someone planning for her was really good. She was no longer alone. It was just news brought back by Wen Quan. Someone in the north had died from the plague. It made her worried. The ancient technology was not developed, and she knew very little about the plague. If she couldn't control it, it was hard to guarantee that the entire Qingshan County wouldn't pay for it.

She thought of the darts again. Wen Quan and Wen Qiang were both deeply trapped in it. It was a job to lick the blood from a knife. Even if the reward was higher, it was still not appropriate.

Suddenly, an idea came to Jinniang's mind. Wen Quan and Wen Qiang were both martial artists in the martial arts school. They were good at martial arts, so why not open a martial arts school? It was safe and proper.
