A Blessed Daughter

Chapter 215: return home

Chapter 215 Returning home after success

The twenty-first day of the first month.

In a flash, more than half of the first month has passed.

And this plague has finally come to an end.

Because of timely control and effective measures, the disease was well controlled, it did not spread from Taizhou, and the number of casualties was also controlled.

With the recovery of the last patient, Wei Ruo and others can finally rest.

But they can't go home right away, and they need to stay in the small courtyard for two days to make sure that none of them is infected with the disease.

When he was free, the first thing Wei Ruo did was to sleep in. He slept until three days in the morning when his stomach was growling with hunger, and then he managed to get up.

Today's meal is not delivered by Mrs. Yuan from the house, but cooked by Xiumei.

"I made some home-cooked dishes for the young master and several doctors, and prepared good wine." Xiumei said.

No one drank a few days ago, all the wine was used to wash hands.

"Is it the good wine brought by your young master?" Dr. Cheng asked hurriedly.

The wine was really fragrant, but no one thought about it at the time. They all poured the wine on their hands, clothes, and didn't drink a drop.

"Yes. When my young master's wine was used up to the last half of the jar, sister Qingyi knew that we needed baijiu, so she shipped a lot of wine from the magistrate's house, so my young master's half jar was given to me. It's left." Xiumei explained.

"Come, come, let me taste the good wine that your young master has treasured!" Dr. Cheng said with a smile, he couldn't wait.

The rest of the people also echoed.

Its not that everyone loves to drink, but that after more than 20 days of busy work, the clouds have finally opened and the moon is shining. We need to celebrate, and drinking is to add to the fun.

Everyone sat together with good food and wine, Wei Ruo naturally drank some, but of course he didn't drink too much, he only tasted a few cups, and was happy with everyone.

Wei Jin also still hadn't touched a drop of alcohol, and was the only one among the crowd who hadn't.

But he was also infected by the joyful atmosphere of everyone, especially Wei Ruo's. He could feel her smile from the bottom of her heart, that kind of relaxed and joyful.

The appearance of laughing heartily is different from when she faces her family at home.

###

On the twenty-second day of the first lunar month, everyone can finally leave the courtyard.

Master Yuan sent someone to take the doctors home, while Wei Ruo was picked up by Mrs. Yuan to the mansion first, and then sent back to Xiaowei's mansion after grooming and changing clothes.

While sending Wei Ruo to the car, Mrs. Yuan told Wei Ruo: "I told your family members that you are helping me arrange all the plague-related affairs at my house these days."

Hearing this, Wei Ruo's heart warmed up. This is Mrs. Yuan helping her. Not only did she have a reasonable explanation for her disappearance these days, but she also gave Wei Qingruo a credit for her identity.

"Thank you ma'am."

"There is no need to thank you, this is your credit. I just put it another way, and there is no false exaggeration." Madam Yuan said.

Wei Ruo and Mrs. Yuan looked at each other and smiled, Mrs. Yuan said: "Okay, let's go back quickly, I have a few days to recuperate, you see you are tired and thin."

After finishing speaking, Madam Yuan asked the coachman and guards to send Wei Ruo back to Xiaowei's mansion.

Wei Jin also went with Wei Ruo, but he was not in the open, but followed Wei Ruo's carriage in the dark, and left after the carriage arrived at the gate of Xiaowei's Mansion.

Getting off the carriage, Wei Ruo was a little surprised to see Wei Mingting, Yun Shi, Wei Yichen, and Wei Qingwan standing at the side door.

"Father?" Wei Ruo looked suspiciously at Wei Mingting who came up to him with a smile on his face.

In my impression, Wei Mingting didn't smile often, but today he was smiling.

"Ruoer, well done! Father is proud of you!" Wei Mingting looked happy, not hiding his pride at all.

Wei Ruo realized that the Yuan family had notified them in advance.

said: "This is what I should do."

"It's human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. To be able to put aside personal life and death in this kind of matter, and to abandon the small self for the big self, is a show of fearlessness! He is a good boy of my Wei family!" Wei Mingting couldn't hide his joy and pride.

Wei Ruodao: "It's not as exaggerated as my father said."

Wei Mingting was still smiling, looking at the smile on Wei Ruo's face, he couldn't hold it back.

Wei Yichen reminded from the side: "Father, it's cold outside, let the eldest sister enter the house."

"Yes, let's go first." Wei Mingting finally came to his senses.

Then everyone went to Cangyun Garden together.

The stove in the room was burning hot. After entering the room, Xiumei took off Wei Ruo's cloak.

After sitting down, several people talked about what happened outside recently.

Snowstorm, plague, food shortage, under the influence of multiple disasters, people's lives are very miserable.

An official family like the Wei family lived very comfortably during this period, with food and clothing. Even if there were some problems, it was only a small problem such as the lack of charcoal fire supply.

But the people at the bottom face the problem that they can't even eat, or the family is squeezed into the same bed and cannot go out.

Wei Mingting sighed: "This time, tens of thousands of people died in the entire Taizhou Prefecture. Some died of starvation, freezing to death, and some died of illness. The exact number is unavailable for now. But even so, Taizhou Prefecture may have died in several nearby prefectures." The situation in the house is the best."

"Why? Should there be no plague in other state capitals?" Wei Ruo asked.

"There is no plague, but some died of freezing, starvation, and disease. What they got was not the same contagious plague as in Taizhou, but ordinary typhoid fever. If they were not treated in time, they could kill people. On the contrary It is the Taizhou Prefecture, with Master Yuan and Princess Jingmin contributing money and efforts to avoid more casualties, and even those who cannot afford the medicine have been healed."

It is very important to have a good official, and it is not bad for ordinary officials to serve the people wholeheartedly. Yuan Zhifu also has a wife with strong financial resources. Mrs. Yuan's generosity has benefited the people a lot.

Wei Ruo nodded, so it is understandable.

"The only good news during this period is that the Japanese pirates have not made any moves, allowing our soldiers to recuperate. If they attack at this time, there will be internal and external troubles in Taizhou Prefecture, and the consequences are unthinkable." Wei Mingting said.

When Wei Mingting said this, Yun Shi also had lingering fears. She was always worried that there would be a fight in those days, and she really didn't know what the chaos would be like.

Wei Yichen said: "God bless Taizhou Prefecture."

"There is another piece of good news. The Seventh Prince has been found. He is alive and in good health." Wei Mingting said.

The ones who were most surprised by the words were Wei Yichen and Wei Qingwan. They didn't even know when the Seventh Prince disappeared.

"Father, what's going on? When did the Seventh Prince disappear? Why hasn't my daughter heard of this before?" Wei Qingwan asked several questions in succession.
