In the end, Qiqi and Jin Hui went back to Jingning with Zhou Xunting and Chu Ningyan, and everyone was happy.
The marriage between Cui Qinglan and Yu Wenci, the second son of the Marquis of Wu'an, was proceeding in an orderly manner. They combined their horoscopes, sent betrothal gifts, and invited the wedding date. Ye Zhenzhen also drank a glass of matchmaking wine, waiting for the wedding date to arrive, and the two destined people would get married.
.
After living so busyly, I finally waited for Cui Weizhen's first letter home.
He probably hasn't received the letter from Ye Zhenzhen yet. This letter was written when he met a businessman returning to Beijing on the road. Compared with the haste of the previous letter, he was a little more calm. In the letter, he repeatedly
She told Ye Zhenzhen to take good care of the baby and not worry about him.
The second letter was written after he arrived in Mingzhou. He had already seen the letter Ye Zhenzhen sent to Mingzhou. He expressed that he was very satisfied with her "rich and fulfilling" daily life, and also briefly told her some things.
The local customs and customs of the state and what they have seen along the way are only mentioned in passing, as for the reinforcement of river dams, relief for disaster victims and other related contents. It is typical to report good news but not bad news.
After the second letter, Ye Zhenzhen never received another letter from him.
However, news about Mingzhou frequently came to the capital. The local situation was not optimistic. Heavy rains continued for days, and it was difficult to build dams that burst. Often, the dams would be destroyed by raging floods the next moment they were just erected.
The local people are in dire straits. The continuous heavy rains for days have caused the water level to rise. The entire city seems to be submerged in water. Many people's houses have been destroyed and they can only run to the hills to pitch tents to survive.
Heavy rains and floods not only bring destruction, but also bring injuries and plagues.
When Ye Zhenzhen heard the news about the plague in Mingzhou, her face instantly turned pale. Fortunately, Yuxiu and Qiu Wu reacted quickly and helped her crumbling body in time. However, they were shocked when they saw Madam covering her stomach and breaking out in cold sweat.
.
"Quick! Get the doctor!"
The jade plate ran away like a gust of wind.
After hearing the news, Aunt Cui and Ye's mother rushed over. Ye Dayong did not go into the house to see his daughter because his mother-in-law was there, but he was also anxious in the yard.
Fortunately, Dr. Yu and Yu Zhi came quickly. After some diagnosis, they quickly came to the conclusion: "Madam, she was too worried and was frightened unexpectedly. The fetal gas was alarmed. She took the anti-fetal medicine."
Just take two doses. But madam, you need to relax your mind and soothe the liver and regulate qi."
He wrote a prescription and gave it to his granddaughter. Yu Zhi immediately took the prescription and went to grab the medicine and boil it.
Of course, he also retreated outside to wait.
Aunt Cui in the room rarely lost her temper: "Are you frightened? What frightened you? How did you serve me!"
Yuxiu and Qiuwu both knelt down to accept the punishment tremblingly, but their mouths were as silent as a saw-mouthed gourd, not a word of sophistry or explanation.
Aunt Cui became even more angry.
Mother Ye couldn't help but cast her eyes on her daughter. She guessed that her daughter might have deliberately concealed it, and the waiter didn't dare to say anything.
Ye Zhenzhen recovered from the severe pain, suppressed the fear in her heart, and reluctantly defended Yuxiu and Qiu Wu: "Mom, it's none of their business. I was sitting under the grape trellis just now, and I saw a small flower unexpectedly.
The snake was frightened for a moment."
Aunt Cui sneered, not believing her nonsense: "Then what's the matter with being too worried? Have you secretly inquired about Wei Zhen's information?"
Ye Zhenzhen fell silent.
In order to allow her to raise her baby with peace of mind, no news about Mingzhou Prefecture was allowed to reach Ye Zhenzhen's ears. However, she had not received news from Cui Weizhen for many days, and she became more and more worried, so she quietly sent Qiu Wu to inquire about the news.
That's what happened today.
Her silence confirmed Aunt Cui's guess, and she did not intend to continue the torture. She directly ordered: "Qiu Wu has not served the master well, and he will be fined half a year's salary and ten canes."
As a well-known god of retribution, Qiu Wu bore the brunt of this storm.
Qiu Wu did not plead for mercy, but kowtowed obediently: "I accept my punishment."
"mother!"
On the contrary, Ye Zhenzhen became anxious: "It's none of Qiu Wu's business, she just obeyed orders. If you want to punish you, punish me."
Aunt Cui couldn't suppress her anger and glanced at her: "Do you really think I don't dare to punish you?"
Ye Mu quickly made peace with her: "Mom, please calm down. Zhen'er is also dizzy with anxiety. Seeing that she is devoted to her son-in-law, please forgive her this time."
Then she glared at her daughter again: "You should say less. You are worried about your son-in-law. Your mother-in-law is no less worried than you. Not only does she have to worry about her son, but she also has to worry about you, a pregnant woman. She didn't have a good night's sleep."
.You should be more considerate of your mother-in-law and take good care of the baby."
Ye Zhenzhen was stunned, yes, she couldn't help but secretly inquire about the news of Mingzhou Palace, let alone Aunt Cui, but she had never shown any worried emotions these days, Ye Zhenzhen thought she didn't know
, I was just thinking about hiding this matter.
How could Aunt Cui not know? She just didn't want her to worry. In fact, the pressure in her heart was no less than that of Ye Zhenzhen.
Ye Zhenzhen's eyes turned red: "Mom, my daughter-in-law is unfilial and makes you worry."
Aunt Cui's eyes also turned red, but she quickly controlled her emotions and comforted: "You don't have to worry, Wei Zhen's father also ordered to provide disaster relief back then, and the disaster was not much worse than the situation in Mingzhou Prefecture.
, and finally came back safely. Wei Zhen is more capable than his father, and he will definitely be able to handle the emperor's mission well this time and come back properly."
After all, she was used to the wind and waves, and she was far more tenacious and stronger than Ye Zhenzhen in some things.
However, she was also aware of her impatience and said to Yuxiu and Qiu Wu who were still kneeling on the ground: "Get up. Your wife still needs someone to take care of her. Qiu Wu's punishment with the rod will be exempted, but his salary will not be changed. Yu
As an accomplice, Xiu was fined three months' salary. Do you have any complaints?"
Yu Xiu and Qiu Wu said gratefully: "The servants have no complaints. Thank you, Madam, for being so tolerant."
Ye Zhenzhen breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a cane punishment, as for the monthly salary that was withheld, she could secretly supplement them in private.
Not long after, Yu Zhi cooked the anti-fetal medicine and brought it in. Ye Zhenzhen endured the bitter taste and drank it in one gulp. Ye Mu quickly stuffed a candied fruit into her mouth and kept drinking it along her lips.
Chest, afraid that she would be sick and vomit.
This child has not liked taking medicine since he was a child.
Doctor Yu came in again to check Ye Zhenzhen's pulse, and nodded slightly: "Ma'am, just have a good rest."
Ye Zhenzhen couldn't feel at ease. Now that the matter had been exposed, she saved the time of asking secretly and asked on the spot: "Old Doctor Yu, how should we treat the plague after a flood? Do you have a suitable prescription?"
At this moment everyone looked towards Dr. Yu, even Aunt Cui.
