Chapter 513 The Hemp Rope Is Broken From the Thin Parts

513

The Song Mama, who was guarding the back door, felt particularly heavy when she woke up early. She pounded her waist and sat up on the bed.

While oh, he said, "I am so born to be poor! I feel uncomfortable when I rested without saying anything."

The fairy Tian, ​​who lived with her, also got up when she heard the movement and joked with her: "I think it was because I saw your man yesterday, so I didn't take it any more."

After hearing this, Pooh Song laughed and scolded: "Old guy, you have those unreasonable thoughts. You are all in seventy and eighty years old. How can you make trouble with two old bones?"

Mrs. Song’s husband is responsible for delivering food and vegetables to Chuyaoguan, and every three or five days.

Because he was originally growing vegetables in the village west of the city, now that the plague is rampant, the court closed the city gates and did not allow people outside the city to enter the city or go out.

Fortunately, Chuyaoguan has a vegetable field in the west of the city, otherwise it would have become a problem for dozens or hundreds of people to eat.

"Look at you, who is thinking about it? I mean yesterday your man came to deliver vegetables, and you were tired of holding vegetables under the kitchen." Tian Pozi smiled and leaned back and forth. Old women liked to joke like this.

Although Mrs. Song was talking to Mrs. Tian, ​​she really felt heavy and unhappy in her heart.

While pounding her shoulders and waist and legs, she folded the quilt. Then she started cleaning the backyard as usual, and the activity started, and it seemed a little lighter. She always felt like she was breathing today, and she had to take a break after doing her work.

Aunt Cai'er stood at the door, and the morning breeze was cool. Today was a sunny day.

She looked at the street and sighed softly. Usually, the main entrance of Chuyao Pavilion was not open at this time, and now it is not allowed to do business, but the front door is open all day long.

In the past, the door was closed during the day to reject guests, but now since there are no guests coming, it doesn’t matter.

The mistress took a hand towel and brushed it off, walked over and said to Aunt Caier, "According to me, let's divide half of the people in the museum and send them to the farm! That way, you can save some more."

"Although that's it, the court now does not let people walk around, so they have to be here." Aunt Caier said.

"In fact, it's not difficult to deal with. Just divide it into several groups." The mistress is very clever: "Even if you meet an official, you can get two money at most, you'll be done."

"But everyone doesn't want to go up to the village. You know, there are only a few farmhouses there. It's time to get the rain, and it's not time to repair it." Aunt Cai'er said, "Let's just stay here for now."

"You are still watching the scenery at the door. Come in and have breakfast." Wangyu smiled and greeted Aunt Cai'er: "We've finished eating, let's go and touch the domino."

He was surrounded in this room all day and had nothing to do, so everyone had to play cards to kill time.

There were many sounds of playing cards one after another, and everyone gathered together several tables, both big and small.

After breakfast, Mrs. Tian piled up the firewood in the backyard. She felt a little hot. She went into the room to take a break and have a bowl of tea. But she saw Mrs. Song lying on the bed and asked her: "What's wrong? How uncomfortable?"

Mrs. Song said weakly: "I don't know what's wrong, don't you get infected with camel plague, right?"

"Look at what you said, there is no such inch." Tian Pozi didn't take it seriously: "Only your man has been here these days, and he is fine. How could you get infected with the plague? Most of the time, you should take a good rest. Maybe it's because the weather is hot, so I'll ask the people in the kitchen to make some mung bean soup for you."

In the second half of the day, officials and doctors recruited by the court went door to door to check.

Spend some herbs to clear heat and detoxify, and check whether there are people who are infected with the disease.

Pooh Song discussed with Pooh Tian: "If I ask them to see you, if I treat it as a plague, I will definitely take it to the north. How is this good?"

The north he mentioned was the place where the imperial court now used to accommodate people infected with the plague. It was originally a military camp, but now it is vacant for people infected with the disease.

There are rumors on the street that everyone who finds sick will be taken there. It is obvious that the plague is not infected, but it is finally infected.

"Isn't it over if they don't ask them to see you?" Tian Pozi was brave and had a good idea: "After someone asked me, I'll say you went to the river to wash clothes. Who is so digging into the bottom of the matter? Besides, we have a large population here, so it's not less than you."

Sure enough, when the officials came, they didn't ask about Mrs. Song.

Everyone was clamoring, and it was so messy that no one in Chuyao Pavilion remembered her.

This took two more days.

On that day, Nephrite checked around for Aunt Cai'er and saw several radishes that were peeling brans there, and asked, "This radish is already so unsatisfactory, why do you still make it?"

"My aunt, you don't know. The dishes will be used up soon, but the one who delivered the dishes has not yet arrived." The chef also looked bitter: "There are dozens or hundreds of mouthfuls, and you always have to eat."

After hearing this, Wangyu said, "Isn't Lao Song responsible for delivering vegetables? I'll be there every three days, and it should have been delivered this year."

"But, it's almost lunch, and no one can see it. I think it's because I'm being investigated on the road and I won't be allowed to come." The kitchen man said while doing his work.

"It shouldn't be like this. At that time, the city was prohibited and said that trading was not allowed to be operated at any time. But daily food and drink were still provided. As long as you are not outside the city, one or two people would still be allowed to walk back and forth." Wangyu said: "Besides, we are familiar with people on the ground, so we won't give you no face."

"Then ask the head of the family, what should we do? After eating this meal, there is really nothing to eat." said the kitchen person.

"Don't worry, I'll ask my mistress to go to the front to inquire. If you can't make such a thing worry about Aunt Cai'er." Wang Yu waved his handkerchief and said, "Even if Lao Song doesn't come, we won't go hungry. It's just that the food in our own fields is not expensive. At worst, we can spend money to buy it."

The words of Nephrite are really not bragging. Chuyao Pavilion is the largest flower building in the capital. Over the years, both the connections and foundations have been much more solid and stable than in other places.

That's why she said this is a trivial matter and there is no need to work on Aunt Cai'er.

Wangyu came out of the kitchen and called the little girl, "You can take someone to the front road to inquire, why haven't this old Song come yet? Seeing what's going on, I feel relieved if I know."

The mistress was worried about being detained at home. After hearing Nephrite's words, she quickly agreed, "Don't worry, I'll ask Xiao Yi to accompany you."

The two of them walked west with their companions. In the past, Lao Song always followed this road when he came. They looked around and might meet them halfway.

They had just walked a street and met local officials. They usually met, so they stopped and greeted them.

The official asked the two of them: "Don't let you go randomly at this time, where are you two going?"

"Our dishes are almost finished. Logically, Lao Song should be delivered today, but no one can see others, so I want to ask." The mistress said with a smile that they serve people, and everyone they meet is smiling.
