Not only did he go to the poor state capital, he also stayed there for eight years.
Lu Yan had never been exposed to the affairs behind the Liu family in his previous life, so he didn't know whether something happened to his second uncle or who he offended.
However, it was only in 1989 that he was transferred to the northwest. If you want to investigate, you can find out.
There was still some time before dinner. He Yunxi thought she could write the letter before dinner. But when he called her during dinner, he found that she was still sitting at the desk in a daze. There was not a word on the paper in front of her, and there was a wastebasket next to her.
There were a few more crumpled paper balls inside.
Well, I have experienced too many things and been separated for too long. Now I am writing again. I feel that I have a lot to say in my heart, but I don’t know where to start.
"Mom, it's time for dinner," she said.
Ms. Liu came back to her senses and said a little embarrassedly: "You can eat first, I won't use it."
He Yunxi walked over and saw that she was frowning and a little nervous, so he explained: "Mom, this matter is not urgent. I don't know what to write now. Maybe I will find out after having a meal. If not, it will be the same if I write tomorrow."
"I have no appetite." said Liu.
"I think you have no appetite, so I made two appetizers. Why don't you try them?" He Yunxi said, "If you don't eat them now, eating them when you are hungry at night will be bad for your health."
Hearing her say that she made it herself, Ms. Liu put down the pen in her hand and said, "Okay, let's eat."
After Mrs. Liu and He Yunxi left, the wind blew in and turned the footer of the letter on the table.
…
After settling the dowry matter, He Yunxi took advantage of the fact that the people in the painting class had not yet been selected and took the people to Zhuangzi for inspection.
Many sweet potato vines had grown out of the sweet potatoes. When she saw the emerald green sweet potato vines, she suddenly wanted to eat the fried sweet potato vine tips, so she asked Gu Yu and the others to pinch the tenderest point on each vine and planned to fry them at noon.
eat.
"Madam, if you pinch the sweet potato vines, won't they die?" Guyu asked.
"No." He Yunxi said, "The sweet potato vine will not die even if some sweet potato leaves are cut off. You have forgotten that when the sweet potato vine is cut, it is cut from the old vine. So these tender ones
You can pick them off and fry them, and the older ones can be cut off to feed the pigs, chickens, ducks and rabbits. As long as you don’t cut off all the vines every time, it will be fine.”
Guyu and the others had never seen sweet potatoes, and they didn't know whether what He Yunxi said was true. They said, "Madam, let's pick some today and try them."
If it doesn't work, the sweet potatoes will die, and the loss won't be too much.
He Yunxi also knew their concerns. After all, some crops would die after being picked. If she had not seen villagers cutting sweet potato vines to feed pigs in the countryside before, she would not have known that these sweet potato vines can be cut in large quantities.
He Yunxi walked around and was very satisfied with the sweet potatoes and corns that were growing well.
Then she went to inspect the duck farm.
The scale of the duck farm has grown, and the duck down collected every day has been processed and handed over to Pei Yuan for making down jackets.
Although it is summer now, we must start preparing these winter clothes now. With so many soldiers on the border, it is naturally too late to wait until winter is approaching.
Just when they were about to leave, they saw a man dressed as a doctor running out of Li Yong's house with a shocked face. They felt a little confused and asked Mo Xin to ask.
"Smallpox, smallpox, that child definitely has smallpox!" the doctor shouted in shock.
He Yunxi's face darkened when he heard the word smallpox. Seeing that the doctor and the medicine boy were about to leave, he said: "Invite the doctor and the medicine boy to another courtyard, give them a separate courtyard, and don't let anyone touch them for the time being."
"Are you trying to imprison us?" the doctor shouted, "Who are you? Why are you imprisoning us?"
Luo Fu stepped forward and said: "My wife is the head of Chang'an County. I am not imprisoning you. She is just asking you to stay temporarily in another courtyard for a few days. After making sure that you have not contracted smallpox, we will let you go."
As a doctor, Luo Fu naturally knew how powerful and contagious smallpox was. She had followed He Yunxi for so long and knew her temperament, so she explained it to the doctor before He Yunxi could speak.
When the doctor heard about the county lord of Chang'an, although he was not familiar with her, she was the county lord. How could he, a commoner, dare to confront her?
And after calming down, they also knew that this was the best way. If they went back, more people might be infected with smallpox.
The doctor and the medicine boy followed obediently. He Yunxi said to Liangchen: "Take someone to find out what's going on. Find out how many people in the village have smallpox and where they got it from. Before you can check it out,
, all the people in Zhuangzi, including the tenants, are not allowed to leave Zhuangzi."
"yes."
Liangchen hurried away with everything from the other courtyard. He Yunxi said to Luo Fu, "Come with me to Li Ming's house to have a look."
"Madam, I'd better go as a slave." Luo Fu said, "This slave had smallpox when she was a child, and she won't be infected if she comes into contact with her again."
"Have you had smallpox?"
"Yes, when slave girl was eight years old. So slave girl also knew some ways to resist smallpox." Luo Fu said.
He Yunxi nodded: "Then go and see who in the Li family got smallpox, and ask how they got it."
"Yes." Luo Fu turned around, breathed a sigh of relief quietly, took He Yunxi's medicine box, and went to Li's house alone.
Soon she confirmed that Li Ming's grandson, Li Yong's eldest son Li Da, had indeed contracted smallpox.
After a while, the people who went to investigate came back. In addition to Li Da who had smallpox, there was also a boy on Zhuangzi who also had smallpox.
The boy helped the adults farm in Zhuangzi every day and never left Zhuangzi. However, Li Da followed Li Yong to the city to deliver ducks, so he probably contracted the infection in the city.
Smallpox actually appeared in the capital!
She had not heard any news about this matter. If it had not been concealed, then it had not been discovered yet.
When she thought about it, she felt that this matter was no small matter.
"Prepare a yard, put Li Da and another child together, and let two people go in to take care of them. Then gather all the people who have been in contact with them, one person per room, and if there are no symptoms after ten days, the isolation will be lifted. These
People are not allowed to come into contact with outsiders, and all food and clothing are brought in by others." He Yunxi ordered, "Aunt Xing, I will return to Beijing immediately after I find out Li Da's movement trajectory, and I will leave it to you to make arrangements here, okay?"
"Don't worry, Lord, I will definitely make arrangements for you." Aunt Xing responded.
When people in Zhuangzi heard about smallpox, they were very frightened, especially when they heard that everyone who had come into contact with them would be locked up in one place, and they were afraid that they would be arrested and locked up. After hearing Liangchen's explanation for a long time, they were separated and isolated.
Each person was given a room, and their food and drink were not taken care of, so everyone went to quarantine anxiously.
He Yunxi sent someone to call Luo Fu, but was told that Luo Fu could not come out.
