Chapter 458: Honoring the Dead
I just said secretly in my heart, "Don't argue with a woman."
Qiao Guxin chatted with Shen Xujie again. She didn't directly ask if she was being made difficult in the main room today, but just looked at Shen Xujie's mood.
It looked good, so he felt relieved and asked the people below to wait for Shen Xujie to go back.
After the people left, Qiao Guxin asked the rosary to call the people in Shen Xuji's courtyard to come over and ask.
You definitely can't ask the personal attendant, lest Shen Xujun tells you to hide it.
The person below reported that Shen Xujie was in Shen Chongyuan's yard during the Dragon Boat Festival. He called him several times, but Shen Chongyuan didn't go out. He probably knew that Shen Xujie should be looked after.
It wasn't until meal time that the two children went to He's place to eat rice dumplings. They didn't stay for long before they came out again.
During this holiday, the two children naturally want to have some fun.
In just one meal, even if He could show off his face, he couldn't do it for long.
After hearing what the next person said, Qiao Guxin felt relieved.
After knowing everything about the family, Qiao Guxin asked Nianxiang to prepare water. After a long day of exhaustion, he wanted to wash up and go to bed.
Shen Qiuhe thought that even if Qiao Guxin scolded him, he would still take the initiative to speak. Who knew that Qiao Guxin would take the initiative and lay down to sleep after washing, without any intention of paying attention to him.
Shen Qiuhe held back his energy and went out to ask Wang Si to get a jar of wine.
Standing at the door of the house, he poured a glass of wine into the moon, and then sprinkled it in front of his eyes. Then he poured another glass, and drank four glasses in a row before letting go.
"Master, what are you doing?" Wang Si couldn't help but ask, why do you feel so creepy at night?
Shen Qiuhe rolled his eyes at Wang Si, "Can't you see that this is a memorial ceremony?"
We should have noticed this a long time ago.
Wang Si suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing and shivered. Thinking about asking more carefully, Shen Qiuhe had already gone back to the house to rest.
Wang Si rubbed his arms. Did everyone take the wrong medicine?
Shen Qiuhe returned to the house and let out a long sigh. He originally thought that he might be able to have a child today, but now it seems that he has failed again. The idea he had thought of has just died. Shouldn't he be melancholy?
Qiao Guxin listened to Shen Qiuhe's voice one after another. Is this the end?
Here, Shen Qiuhe was melancholy for a while, just sitting in front of the collapse, preparing to take off his boots.
Wang Si's voice was heard outside, "Master, there is news from the palace."
Shen Qiuhe put on his boots neatly and hurried out.
Qiao Guxin sat up directly, unable to hold back her anger, so she quickly put on her clothes and waited.
After a while, Shen Qiuhe entered the room with a solemn face and saw Qiao Guxin already standing up. This time, before Qiao Guxin could speak, she said, "I feel like I have acne down there." He said while putting on his coat.
Qiao Guxin's mind buzzed, "How could that be?"
Not only is this pox disease contagious, there is basically no cure. Some people can fight it off, but those who can't fight it off are waiting to die.
Shen Qiuhe frowned slightly, "I'll go take a look."
The imperial doctor has already set up the furnace there and smoked the moxa. If this time passes, nothing will happen.
Qiao Guxin couldn't help but pull Shen Qiuhe's sleeve, his voice trembled a little, "Can't we just go?"
This is the time when we just learned that something happened, but it is still unclear how many people have been infected. It can be said to be the most dangerous time.
In my previous life, I never remembered that the capital city had suffered such a great disaster.
"Are you worried about me?" Shen Qiuhe's voice was a little hoarse, and he naturally held Qiao Guxin's hand.
Qiao Guxin's face looked a little unnatural, "You can't have any trouble now. Keep it useful. At least, at least wait until Xu Jie is older before anything goes wrong."
After hearing Qiao Guxin's words, Shen Qiuhe laughed softly, "Okay, I will definitely die a few years later."
Suddenly he hugged Qiao Guxin in his arms and said, "Wait for me and you to have children and grandchildren!"
Qiao Gu subconsciously wanted to pinch Shen Qiuhe, but Shen Qiuhe reacted quickly, turned around and left quickly.
Qiao Guxin only wore her coat and couldn't go out. She just opened the window and watched Shen Qiuhe's back disappear in the shadow of the lights.
Shen Qiuhe walked out quickly with Wang Si, "I ask for a token from Your Highness. All officials who may be involved in this matter should be called!"
Who doesn’t want to have his wife and children on the hot bed? He can’t sleep with Qiao Guxin in his arms, and neither can the rest of the family!
What is this called, being sad alone is not as sad as everyone else?
Wang Si complained a few words in his heart for those adults, but he still ran faster than anyone else. He must ask for this favor from the Prince of the East Palace. Anyway, it would be better for everyone to be unlucky together.
After Shen Qiuhe went out, Qiao Guxin became increasingly unable to sleep, and her body ached even more.
Although Shen Qiuhe is a martial arts practitioner and is probably stronger than him, he is not much stronger. He is so tired, but he is still running around at the risk of his life. The more he thinks about it, the more worried he becomes about Shen Qiuhe.
Qiao Guxin was wearing a middle coat and leaning on the edge of the collapse. She silently recited the Buddha's name in her heart and asked the gods and Buddhas for their blessings to keep Shen Qiuhe safe and sound.
Waiting for Shen Qiuhe to step back to the house in the dim light of the morning light, push the door open, and see Qiao Guxin sitting on the edge of the cave. He must have been up all night, and his eyes were all green at the moment.
"Why are you staying here? You have me for everything, don't worry." Shen Qiuhe asked in a low voice, but did not come forward and only washed his hands in the outer room.
Qiao Guxin rubbed her eyebrows, feeling a little headache, "What's going on outside?"
Shen Qiuhe wiped his hands clean and went into the house to get his official robe and put it on, "It's not acne."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Guxin was obviously relieved. As long as it wasn't acne, so many people wouldn't have died.
However, Shen Qiuhe lowered his head and sighed, "The He family is in trouble again."
It’s not that the common people suffering from acne suffered less, but the prince had to be in trouble again. It was said that the five acres of land occupied by the He family were originally cultivated by two old people. All the children in the family had accidents when they were young, and only The old couple depended on each other for life.
The person from the He family was also cautious and did not dare to occupy the house if there were strong men in the family, so he found a couple like this.
The old couple originally had five acres of land, and their life was not tight. But who knew if someone took over their land, they would have trouble making a living. The old lady fell ill immediately when she became anxious.
After the He family was involved by the Yushitai, in addition to jailing the people who occupied the land, they also gave the old couple a large sum of compensation.
But unfortunately, the old lady was old, and she didn't know how many days she would live if she took good care of her. However, she became very angry and fell ill. Although the money was coming, she could not be saved.
The old man was also a spirited man. He threw away all the money and went to the hospital on a good day.
I used hot oil to scald myself several times, and then I took a cold bath to get cold. When I went to the hospital, I was told that my body had a fever and felt uncomfortable all over, and blisters started to form.
He also said that his old lady died in the same way.
This is a big deal. No one dares to get close to the hospital. Report it to the authorities immediately. If one mistake is made, dozens of lives may be lost.
This disease is like the plague and should not be taken carelessly, especially during a banquet when all the prominent people are in the palace. Now it has directly reached the Holy Father.
